So what I have done at Pima, I don't think of that as journalism.

I think of that as just me having conversations with people.

You know, I actually never, that's one result I don't believe. I just fundamentally don't believe that if you take undergrads and you put them in the role of the prisoner versus the prison guard, it's just, you know, I've never tried it. But I just don't believe that it's real. And I think to get it, you have to manipulate other things. It just doesn't seem right to me that people are like that.

I don't know if you were with me by the time I was talking to a movie director from the BBC, and he said that he had tried to recreate that for the BBC, and it got so ugly so quickly that he had to cancel the whole thing, and they didn't even do the show. But... I don't know.
