Yeah, because everyone started doing it.

Well, I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this, but I wanted to point something out is in 2018, that all fell apart. For decades, we have been espousing this and regurgitating this whole stance because of something called replication crisis that is going on in psychology and has been going on for a long time is instead of just taking it as truth, you redo it. And it doesn't work.

It never works. They've tried with tons of different kids doing the marshmallow test, and there is no correlation about later adult behavior. And even Mischel, one of the guys that co-authored the original study, came out and later said in 2018 that it revealed nothing about adult behavior when looking at outcomes like capital formation, social standing, or intelligence.

So it just sort of all falls apart. Except there is something there. There is something there involving greed and wanting something right away versus waiting for it. And this is where science rebounded. Do you want to hear this part? Of course. The marshmallow test was thrown out, and then it came back because they started studying pizza. They started studying pizza. You've read the study? No.

The idea is they started looking at the other pressures, the other things that were going on around the kids, that they were using the kids originally as these blank slates, these tabula rasa that then either ate a marshmallow or didn't. They started using things, and this is why I wanted to compare it to Halloween.

One of the kids, like the kids that were my friends, he took all of the candy, right? When I would have learned, I thought, and would have just taken one. Do you think maybe he did that because the situation was deemed untrustworthy?

In the first three houses. There was now a potential scarcity of candy. There was worry set into motion because there was no candy, no candy, no candy. Then you have the chance for candy. You grab it. You take more than you need. it's a hundred percent toilet paper during the pandemic. When I famously was like, I'm not going to hoard. And America said, thanks. And I wiped my ass with bath towels.

That's gross. That's not true. I mean, they weren't my towel. Um, Because what they did when they reset up the new, new, new marshmallow test is they had preschoolers, they would have the experimenters lie or misbehave with another adult in front of them. So the adults are breaking the rules.

And then when that happened, they would leave the room across the board. Those preschoolers would grab it. They would grab the marshmallow right away because they no longer trusted that the promise you made to give me more marshmallows because I've already seen you break rules. It seems like greed, but it's not. So it wasn't driven by like a lack of self-control.

It was this person isn't trusted and I should cut my losses.
