"To save the study of our minds from the stupidity of our minds."Episode 2 of Crash Course Psychology remains consistent so far with the general introduction when delving into psychology, often being chapter 2 of many of my PSY courses.
This chapter has often been the one I disliked the most, being inherently boring to me since I am neither a stickler for numbers nor the precise ways to go about experimenting rather than what happens in the experiment itself. However, Hank (the narrator) continues to be witty and funny and keep me interested in the video, despite me at first wanting to get this one over with as quickly as possible. He includes only the important concepts within this 10 minute video while saying it in breezy non-textbook-like form. He still manages to keep all the important terms though.
Essentially, he emphasized that many of us humans are stupid and our intuition is more often than not very and completely wrong. And being the sometimes overconfident person that I am, I feel like I needed to hear this again. Even after taking all the PSY and STA courses that I have, I still need to have this repeated to me, haha.
"Experimental group 2 gets 500 mg, more than a quad-shot of espresso dunked in a red bull."
Overall, the comment section seems to agree with me on the quality of this video, saying things like "this is an excellent and accurate rehash of introductory psychology" and "I wish I had Hank Green as my professor."
