Summary

Welcome back to part two with renowned biologist Robert Sapolsky, who presents a compelling argument that free will is an illusion that is deeply rooted in our biology. His ground-breaking insights, as detailed in his book "Determined," challenge conventional wisdom and reshape our understanding of human behavior, asserting that we are in fact products of our biology, not the autonomous agents of free will you believe yourself to be. If you’re on the edge of your seat wanting more, check out Robert Sapolsky’s latest book, Determined, A Life Without Free Will: https://www.amazon.com/Determined-Science-Life-without-Free/dp/0525560971 Follow Robert Sapolsky: Website: http://www.robertsapolskyrocks.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robert.sapolsky/ Follow Me, Tom Bilyeu: Website: https://impacttheoryuniversity.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/ SPONSORS: If you purchase an item using these affiliate links, Impact Theory may receive a commission.

0:00.0	And now part two with Robert Sapolsky.
0:04.1	Yeah, that the getting into how much of our makeup is either echoed in our body or driven by our body.
0:12.9	I find endlessly fascinating.
0:15.6	My wife and I have been together for, been married for 21 years.
0:20.1	And so we get asked a lot about, oh, you know,
0:22.4	what's the secret to a long marriage? And while I rarely give this answer, the thing that's in
0:29.6	my mind a lot of times is I almost certainly have a lot more receptors for vasopressin because I get so much out of bonding with my wife. I don't know
0:41.1	what to do with that. Not to mention what she has to do with that. This is exactly our discussion of,
0:50.3	oh my God, we're machines, and you just proved that you're a machine who could know
0:55.3	your machinness in that regard. And does that, like, do in Hallmark cards? Does that do in,
1:03.9	like, the feelings that you feel, that you feel so strongly that they feel real, even if they
1:10.0	aren't real, because you're just a machine.
1:13.0	Yeah, that's the challenge that we have, that somehow we need to come to terms with us knowing our
1:20.6	machineness in the sense that, like, you can do biomechanics on pelvic arches and angles of femurs with pelvic arches
1:34.4	and thus in this species, they could leap in this way and in that species they can't.
1:39.2	And here's the equations that will prove it.
1:42.1	And that could make perfect sense to you.
1:45.4	And still, your jaw drops open the first time you see that a gazelle can leap 20 feet across, you know,
1:52.2	a riverbed. And that's the most amazing thing. And you're like, can't believe the world has
1:59.4	produced something like this.
2:01.7	And you can do that and understand the equations that it makes it possible for their
