And I look up, it's a 10 o'clock toilet run, 10 o'clock at night, last time prisoners go to the toilet. And prisoners have bags over their head, legs chained together, yelling, screaming, cursing. And I say, hey, Christina, look at that. Isn't that interesting? And she starts crying and runs out. And we have this big argument. And I'm saying, what kind of psychologist are you?

This is a crucible of human nature. She says, wait a minute. How could you see what I see and not see it as dehumanization? I thought I knew who you were. I don't know who you are. I don't know who this person is. And I'm not sure I want to continue my relationship with you if this is the real you. How long had you been dating by this point? Oh, probably six months.

And when she said it, was it kind of a light bulb moment for you or did you fight against the impulse? No, I fought against the impulse because at some deep level, I knew she was right. I didn't want to believe that I was changed by the situation. I mean, I'm a grown up. I've done lots of research.

Oh, not at all. No, I'm saying it was not a light bulb. It was a lightning bolt. that when she said it, we both talked about it. We subsequently got married the next year because I realized she was my heroine who saved me because the study was going to go another full week. And I'm not sure what would have happened at that point, but it was a lightning bolt.

And of course I resisted at first because what it means is I had made this mistake. I should have ended it days earlier. And essentially it's what administrators do. I didn't do anything wrong, but I allowed wrongdoing to go on. And actually, one of the worst guards said in a later interview, the professor never said I couldn't do it. And therefore, I did it.

When I was a child, I was very sickly. In fact, I almost died from pneumonia and whooping cough at a time when there was no penicillin or sulfur drugs for contagious diseases.
