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.
