00:00 Hello, and welcome to my new set. I'm on a ches lounge.
00:04 I'm on a chair.
00:05 Ches lounge.
00:06 Wing back.
00:07 Ches.
00:08 Chair.
00:09 Both at the same time!
00:10 I also got a new jacket. It was formerly owned by Roger. He had it embroidered with his name.
00:16 But one thing here is not new. My brain. Because unlike the vast majority of cells in my body,
00:22 the neurons I had when I was an infant are the neurons that I have right now.
00:26 They will be the same neurons I have when I die. Our brains are us. They do not replace.
00:33 It's all part of the magical mystery that is our minds.
00:36 Now some, okay, me, occasionally argue that psychology is a softer science than chemistry or biology or physics.
00:43 Well, frankly, that's true. There's more discussion of tendencies, of maybes.
00:48 The allowances for statistical significance are wider. And you want to know why?
00:52 Because it's more complicated. Your brain is more complicated than anything taught in theoretical physics classes.
00:58 There are no equations that can define it.
01:01 Though it operates within the same laws as the rest of the cosmos,
01:04 its complexity rivals that of the entire rest of the universe combined. Excluding all the other brains, of course.
01:11 You'd think that we'd be really good at understanding brains, though, since, you know, we all have one and use one all the time.
01:17 We experience the world as a brain connected to sensing systems.
01:20 And yet, as we will see, our insights about how brains work are often very wrong.
01:25 So just throw out everything you think you know.
01:27 And that is why we have this wonderful science of psychology.
01:31 Though you cannot, as early psychologists wished, break the human psyche into atoms of consciousness,
01:37 through careful study of your mind you can, at least in part, understand your mind.
01:43 And the minds of others, we can heal the sick, deepen understanding, and improve functions.
01:48 That's really the heart of it. Minds trying to understand minds.
01:51 The reason we do things, why we think and feel the way we do.
01:55 The schools of thought, the techniques, the history, the characters, from Freud to advanced neuroscience.
02:00 From healthy to broken, from everyday behaviors to the deepest depths of your subconscious.
02:05 And also, did I mention jazz lounge?
02:08 Well, I don't have a cigar. I should have a cigar.
02:11 I honestly do not have any idea how to acquire a cigar.
02:15 Freud would be so disappointed in me.
02:17 Actually, did you know that Freud was, in addition to cigars, also addicted to cocaine?
02:22 One of the many things you will learn here on Crash Course Psychology.
