  I'm Dr Helen Fischer, I'm a Biological anthropologist and I study love. I've written six books that sell all over the world on romantic love. Where how it evolved what happens in the brain and why you fall in love with one person rather than another? I really had a wonderful childhood I grew up in a modern house a glass house right next to Philip Johnson's glass house in New Cananan Connecticut And it was thrilling We had a lot of land  We had big flood lights You could see the deer and the foxes and the woodchucks and the possums all around the house all the time I have an identical twin sister so I always had somebody to play with When did you first learn about sex? And my father and mother really believed  that sex was an important part of a partnership.  As a matter of fact when I was 18 my father gave me about 20 books on sex.  There was nothing puran in our household.  I never even saw him hold my hand. He was a an executive at  Time magazine. ...

Now I know you're not all here, I know some of you are but you're not all mathematicians. And so you cannot all immediately see all of the consequences of these two remarks. And so what I would like to do in this lecture is to briefly tell you  the story of the discovery.  what some of the consequences are,  what the effect of this discovery had on the history of science  what kinds of mysteries such a law entails some something about the refinements made by Einstein.  And possibly the relation to other laws of physics  the history of the thing briefly is this that the Ancients first observed the way the planets seemed to move about in the sky. And concluded that they all went around along with the Earth went around the Sun.  This discovery was later made independently by Copernicus after they had forgotten that people have forgotten. That it had already been made now the next thing question that came up in to study was exactly. How do they go around...

  There are  lots of examples where alcohol  plays a role (in this novel). When raskolnikov intervenes in that nasty gentleman who's chasing a woman. Or who is trying to harass a woman.  You remember what happened  to the why is the woman being harassed?  "she's drunk"    Right,  She was gotten drunk in a Tavern. Dressed badly by somebody else. She's out on the street and that nasty gentleman is trapping her down. And is probably is trying to get her, gonna hassle her.  And I want to read you the scene in a Tavern and this is in part one. I think it's chapter 2 or chapter 3. Raskolnikov has rehearsed his crime. The novel opens with him about to rehearse.  And act it out and go to the pawn broker, and bring her  a pledge. And he's doing it all, so that  when he actually commits the crime the  day of the murder, he will have done it before.  And what does he do on his way  home from the rehearsal?  "Stops...

  In the 1960s, Milner was looking for the part of the brain responsible for memory, but instead he stumbled upon the part responsible for emotion. And eventually, people came to understand that 99.9% of our lives are driven by the emotional brain, rather than the rational brain. So, if you’re wondering How I got interested in neuroscience? Well, it was because of this emotion thing. Because of Daniel Goleman’s book. The book was actually written in 1995, but it wasn’t published until 1996.  When I first read  the title…  I thought, what kind of book  is this?  Emotional Intelligence?  What is that? So I bought the book, but I didn’t read it for three days. When I finally started reading it — actually, I remember I was in the ER at the time — I thought, wow, this book actually makes sense. In that book, he mentioned someone named Richard Davidson, who was a pioneering neuroscientist. And so I started tracking down his writings. That’s how I got interes...

  And you can get already, from my introduction. I'm more interested not so much in the human mind. A s in the Marvel of nature who can obey such an elegant and simple law. As this  law of gravitation.  So our main concentration will not be on how clever we are to have found it all  out. But on how clever she is to pay attention to it.  Now what is this law of gravitation that we're going to talk about. The law  is that two bodies or bodies exert a force upon each other which is inversely  as the square of the distance between them and varies directly as the product of their masses. And mathematically we can write that great law down and the formula some kind of a constant times a product of the two  masses divided by the square of the distance.  Now if I add the  remark that a body reacts to a force by accelerating or by changing its velocity  every second to an extent inversely as its mass it it reacts changes  velocity more...

  When I think about what it means to me  to think like a lawyer and How I hope my clients view me.  These aren't the first things  that come to mind.  I mean, think about it. If you're asking a friend,  "What do you think of the lawyer  who handled your divorce proceeding  last year?" They're not gonna say,  "Oh, they were so great  at IRAC (Issue Rules Analysis Conclusion). I really love that." The American Bar Association's Canons of Professional Ethics.  This is basically organization wrote a draft of ethics rules  that they suggested that other states and other courts  kind of adapt and make their own  kind of a sample.  And under the Canon 15, which is how far a lawyer may go in supporting a client's cause,  "The lawyer owes entire devotion to the interest of the client." In the maintenance and defense of his rights  and the exertion of his utmost learning and ability  to the end that nothing...

  Now such a topic (gravitation) has a tendency to become  too philosophical, because it becomes so general that a person talks in such generalities that everybody can  understand him.  And it's considered to be some deep philosophy if you however I would like to be very  rather more special and I would like to be understood in an honest way rather than in a vague way to some extent and  so if you don't mind I'm going to try to give instead of only the generalities  in this first lecture. An example of physical law so that you have at least one example of the things about which  I'm speaking generally in this way uh I can use this example again and again to  give an instance to make a reality out of something which otherwise be too abstract now I've chosen for my special  example of physical law to tell you about the theory of gravitation or the phenomena of  gravity why I chose gravity I don't know I had whatever I chose you would ...

  The next Marketing activity is to identify a concept. And once we identify and develop a concept then we're gonna determine a price that the customer is willing to pay. So far we have three activities  identify an unmet need  develop a concept  determine a price that the customer is willing to pay. number four is to gain distribution  and five is to build awareness  And importantly what we want to do is get distribution first, before we start to advertise. We should have the product available before we start to advertise.  Because what we want to do is Not spend  a lot of money on advertising.  And then have the customer go into the store  and then find out that the product is not available.  In some Industries it's common to create some hype where the product is not available and that's intentional to create this image of scarcity. And sometimes that makes a product more desirable. But we have to determine whether or not the cate...

It’s odd but in the infrequent occasions when I've been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums. The introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics. I believe that's probably that we respect the Arts more than the Sciences.  The artist of the Renaissance said that man's main concern should be for man.  And yet there are some other things of interest in the world even the artists appreciate sunsets and the ocean waves and the march of the Stars across the heavens. And there is some reason then to talk of other things sometimes.  As we look into these things we get an aesthetic pleasure from him directly on observation.  But there's also a rhythm and a pattern between the phenomena of nature which isn't apparent  to the eye but only to the eye of uh analysis and it's these rhythms and  patterns which we call physical laws. What I want to talk about in this se...

  All of this choice has two negative effects on people. One effect, paradoxically, is that it produces paralysis rather than liberation. With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all. I'll give you one very dramatic example of this, a study that was done of investments in voluntary retirement plans. A colleague of mine got access to investment records from Vanguard, the gigantic mutual fund company, of about a million employees and about 2,000 different workplaces. What she found is that for every 10 mutual funds the employer offered, rate of participation went down two percent. You offer 50 funds -- 10 percent fewer employees participate than if you only offer five. Why? Because with 50 funds to choose from, it's so damn hard to decide which fund to choose, that you'll just put it off till tomorrow, and then tomorrow and then tomorrow and tomorrow, and, of course, tomorrow never comes. Understand that not only does this mean that peop...

  What else? Anything else come to mind with drunkards?   A drunker is also somebody that makes rash or extreme decisions without a lot of For Thought .  Good Okay so drunkards are non-rational. And you were gonna say something?  Some of the important scenes happen under the influence of alchohol. Good instead of driving Under the Influence,  we have Russian Under the Influence (RUI) Okay there are lots of RUI scenes  Even people you wouldn't expect so razumikhin who's his friend gets a little tipsy every now and then, he never out of control but he gets a little tipsy. But marmalad is the guy. And what Dostoevsky was originally gonna write about was a novel of  poverty  lower class life in Petersburg  drunkenness  unemployment  an inability to keep the family going  It's marmeladov, he loses his job every time he gets a new job he loses his job he steals from his wife spends the money on drink over and over and over ...

  This is 1401, microeconomics. I'm Professor John Gruber. I think personally what makes economics most exciting is you can use it to think intelligently about the problems that policymakers face every day as they try to decide how to make the economy work the best for its citizens.  In fact, I teach a whole course about this called 1441. But I'm gonna bring some of those insights into this class and use policy-based examples and things like that to try to motivate and organize our thinking about economics. Lastly, three points about my teaching style. First of all, I don't write everything on the board. For the freshmen here, we're not in high school anymore. You need to pay attention and listen to what I say, not just what I write. So it's important to remember that. The second point is, as you can tell, I talk really fast and my handwriting is really bad. So please don't be afraid to ask "what the hell" I just said or wrote. If you don't know, c...

  Pada awalnya kecemasan itu senjata utama binatang. Tapi begitu kecemasan kita menumpuk, itu menjadi gangguan kecemasan. Ada anciety, ada anciety disorder. Anciety sehat, tapi disorder gak sehat, gitu..  Nah, pada saat kecemasan itu hilang sesaat, timbul kebahagiaan pada binatang, semua binatang ya. Yang namanya happiness pada binatang itu sama dengan  kegembiraan.  Jadi pada saat harimau menerkam kijang, pada saat itu dia merasakan kebahagiaan. Tapi kebahagiaan itu hilang, justru pada saat dia mulai makan. Hilang kebahagiaanya..  Jadi pada saat dia makan, justr kebahagiaanya itu hilang. Tapi yang namanya kebahagiaan itu candu. Otak kita akan mencari itu lagi. Jadi akhirnya setelah makan, harimau itu mencari sensasi kegembiraan (mencari mangsa lagi). Itu yang mendrive kehidupan binatang. Ya hanya binatang yang punya otak, jamur gak punya, tumbuhan gak punya, bakteri gak punya, monera gak punya. Jadi kerajaan kehidupan yang punya otak ya binatang. Pada saat anca...
