What you do on Freaking Out Zero is actually journalism.

And I'm excited to try my hand at being a journalist for a little while.

Well, you know, one thing I'm glad is that I finally quit something on time because I always wait until too long, like everybody else does.

And when people say, have you ever quit something at the right time?

I'm going to say, well, I might have quit too early, but at least I didn't wait too long.

That's why I thought it would be such a good episode, because he is bizarre.

It is a compliment to be called a quitter precisely because we live in a world where so many forces push us to persist far too long at failing endeavors.

Continue, please. Continue, please.

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.

Now, maybe that's what's so amazing about it is that it really happens. And there was... 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.

But wait, got so ugly so quickly connoting that it did happen, yeah? Yeah, he said it was real too. But a lot of times what I've found is that when I try to do experiments as an economist that work great for psychologists, I cannot get them to work. And I really have come to believe that it's because the people in this study are so keen on doing what the researcher wants them to do
