(May 19, 2010) Professor Robert Sapolsky gives what he calls "one of the most difficult lectures of the course" about chaos and reductionism. He references a book that he assigned to his students. This lecture focuses on reduction science and breaking things down to their component parts in order to understand them best.

I think this is a neat lecture that starts from the ground up in history with the reductionism and chaos ideas --- mostly seems like system analysis of biological structures - that I am always thinking about --- love this type of lecture going on!! ahhhhh strange attractors mmmm cool and the butterfly effect --yeah so quantum chaos- omg fractal genes for the body-- OMG. chaotic fractal systems variance that solves the problem of ... complex chaos.. OH dag the end is bad on this lecture it just cuts out as he is talking then there is the lecture 2 days later -- here --- but I have things to do and might start the whole series from the beginning at some point :)

Actually, there are quite a number of YouTube channels that provide great discussions of such topics but these will do for a start.
