Awesome lecture by Robert Sapolsky, one of my favorite anthropologists. In it, he talks about how schizotypal personalities are related to religious belief. He also dives into OCD and religious rituals (I also had no idea that Martin Luther was full blown OCD.). Epilepsy, depression and several other mental/neurological disorders are discussed as well. 90 min dur. Evolution, religion, schizophrenia and the schizotypal personalityblip.tv/file/2204956/ |

Çrazies don't evolve. They are intelligently designed. Un-intelligently, thats un-intelligently designed...Cthulu is merely a slave master, Azathoth our blind, deaf, dumb, and mentally unstable overlord is our actual creator and master. Hence the large number of crazies in this world... |

Hence the large number of crazies in this world...  You should know that that's not correct either. What Azathoth marks is the end of existence. 'Tis our Mother, Shub-Niggurath, who is the essence of creation. Ia Ia, Shub-Niggurath!!Azathoth our blind, deaf, dumb, and mentally unstable overlord... Did anyone else mentally finish this with "Sure plays a mean pinball?" Yes.  |

Hey, thanks for linking that. Very interesting so far! (Listening to it right now).
I'd read Sapolsky's A Primate's Memoir & watched his primate sex class. He gives good lectures.
