      im not saying they're good to take, I'm just saying at least they aren't like heroin which no one takes just once. you can try most drugs one night, have a great time or a horrible one, and you can still walk away from it.

    I used to hate these videos back in high school because my teacher used to show these instead of slowly introducing and teaching the topic, which made every student feel overwhelmed and stressed. Now that I’m in college, these are so great for reviewing material because they go super in-depth and explain things very well! Great work!

      It's hard to maintain your enthusiasm every day for decades when half your audience is only in the room because they're legally required to be in school every day, and would rather experience physical pain than listen to you speak one more sentence about neurotransmitters. All that indifference (or outright malice) can wear down one's enthusiasm for teaching very quickly.

    When Hank talks about this kinda stuff i find it hard to believe humans happened and evolved by chance. It makes it so hard to believe we weren't designed in this certain way.

We started off very simple, and BECAUSE things happened by chance we are complex; imagine you are trying to create a robot, but you cannot decide exactly what materials to use and how to make it; everything happens by chance and the way the robot adapts to the environment over billions of years. Surely the robot would become very complex? This is the same for humans.

Sounds more like an alien to me. Just my opinion, I respect all religions. Peace 😃✌

Humans and life/ existence as a whole is so complex for me, personally, to think it just happened by chance. That's all, not really bringing God or religion into it but i totally respect if you don't agree. Have a good day!

      bob dash I never meant John Greene was going to lecture "there is no God", but rather about inconvenient facts, such as, the poor historicity of Moses and the Exodus, the tablets of ugarit in Syria, the pagan origins of Judaism, the pagan elements in Christianity (Christmas and Easter), and the council of nicea. I just was saying that an unbiased review of the religions will be greatly inconvenient for the religions themselves

    • @Bobsry16
      @Bobsry16 Před 9 lety +5

      Kevin Lopez OK, i see what you mean and i agree to some extent. There are a lot of double standards and inconsistencies in modern Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Those are the religions that tend to go crazy when someone contradicts there canon, regardless of accuracy or basic human morality. This criticism is coming from a open minded Christian. The pagan thing is the one of the most ignored issues in major monotheistic religions.

    These videos are so helpful, I can’t believe I didn’t find this until the night before my test!
    My professor explained everything separately and never put it all together.
    Thank you so much.

    Awww you left out cholinesterase-inhibitors. AKA nerve gas, AKA muscle spasm to death, AKA firing of nerves till your body shuts down. Basically a continuous wave of depolariozation. Plus, cholinesterase is an important enzyme that breaks down excess acetylcholine. BUT, the nervous system is huge and I'm sure you could have a crash course that only focuses on the nervous system.
