                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m so happy to see that the TED site, by far my favorite collection of online talks (I&#8217;ve posted <a href="https://timberry.bplans.com/?s=ted.com" target="_blank">several of them</a> on this blog before), picked up this Robert Sapolsky talk. If you don&#8217;t see it here, or if you want to watch it in a higher quality HD mode, you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrCVu25wQ5s" target="_blank">click here</a> for the link to the YouTube source.  The TED talk user ratings call this &#8220;informative inspiring fascinating.&#8221;</p>
<p>This talk is fascinating. Dr. Sapolsky, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-Zebras-Dont-Get-Ulcers/dp/0716732106" target="_blank">Why Zebras Don&#8217;t Get Ulcers</a>, makes a set of amazing &#8220;contrast and compare&#8221; points about how we are remarkably similar to a lot of other animals in much of our behavior, but &#8212; and believe me, this part is going to make you think &#8212; different. His talk is fun, entertaining, and important.</p>

<p>By a stroke of good fortune, I was there at Stanford Univeristy to see this talk when he delivered it (actually last June, although the site says September). I wanted to share it then, and was reminded of it today, when I saw it among the new talks on the TED site.</p>
