  4. You are amazing, Prof. and this is a great bunch of stuff, a masterpiece) But PLEASE-PLEASE slow down, it's vert difficult to absorb and process this incredible material with such a high speed. Thank you so much for everything you do!

  5. I find Psychology fun, most people do not. You made the most intellectual study fun for everyone, you my friend are a genius

  6. Weird to me it seems only a small percentage are here to seek knowledge without attending a school. Like i translated close to the entire video into notes with captions then watched it threw normally. Am i really just that big of a nerd? Please tell me I'm not alone in this quest for all the knowledge.
