I took his Human Behavioral Biology class at Stanford, and ironically studied Kierkegaard in an Existentialism class the same year which Sapolsky also references. For everyone else interested to watch, open Adam's above YouTube link and jump to around 34:00 if you don't have time to watch the whole thing. And if you want to know more about Robert Sapolsky, you can highlight his name on the page and click "Search" to learn more with Apture. For more intellectual fodder, these ideas are similar to Phillip Zimbardo's recent work on time orientation and delayed gratification. Adam, thank you so much for posting Robert Sapolsky’s talk.
