15 minutes to 60 hours. Same rats. One belief changed everything. Nir Eyal tells the Curt Richter experiment from the 1950s. Wild rats dropped into water paddled for about 15 minutes then gave up and sank. Another group got pulled out just before that point, dried off, rested, and...

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “But it really didn’t occur to you that you could be fired after so many of your colleagues had been let go after you’d had this, you know, very contentious interaction with your new boss?” Scott Pelley: “You know, some reporter, I turned out to be. I just didn’t connect the dots. I mean, was this meeting contentious? Yes, but 60 Minutes is known for two things, a ticking stopwatch and hard questions. And we ask ourselves those hard questions in the shop because they sharpen us and make us better. There was a screening once with Mike Wallace and Mike and the executive producer and founder of 60 Minutes, Don Hewitt, got into a big argument about a script. Wallace jumps up in the middle of the screening, throws his script up in the air and yells at Don. Well, then you write the f’ing thing. One of those pieces of paper comes down and slices an associate producer across the face. He’s bleeding now. He’s got a paper cut on his face. That was about a story. The meeting that I was in was about whether 60 Minutes was going to even survive or not.” Garcia-Navarro: “So, you walk in, and what was the energy of the room?” Pelley: “Hostile, dismissive before I could take my seat. Tom Cibrowski said, this is a firing offense. I was confused. I wasn’t sure who he was talking about in the room, but it became plain very quickly that they were talking about me, and they were unhappy about the meeting that had occurred, a meeting that had ended in thunderous applause for me, if I may say so, because somebody had stood up for the broadcast.”

On Friday, Bill Maher asked me if what happened with Biden at the disastrous debate with Trump was the same story as the Emperor's New Clothes. Me: The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is a story about common knowledge, because when the kid blurted it out, he actually wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't already know. They could see the Emperor was naked. But he still changed their knowledge, because by blurting it out with an earshot of the others, now everyone knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew that everyone else knew. And what that allowed them to do is change their relationship with the Emperor, from obsequious deference to ridicule and scorn. And the thing about common knowledge in the social realm is that it's what props up our social relationships. And so when something is blurted out, then it can change everything. It changes the nature of your relationship with someone. Maher: And we do have sort of a modern version of the Emperor parable, which is Joe Biden. I mean, he was the Emperor who everyone wouldn't say had lost his marbles. I mean, is that not really the same story? Me: It is the same story, because opinion polls showed that after that disastrous debate with Trump, the number of people who thought that he was cognitively impaired didn't go up by that much. It went up by a few percentage points. But before, a majority of people thought that he was cognitively impaired. The difference is, when it's on TV, where you're watching it, you know that the rest of the country is watching it, you know the rest of the country knows the rest of the country, it's no longer private. It's common. And that's when he was challenged. That was the end. Bill Maher Real Time with Bill Maher

Cam Newton says his biggest mistake late in his career was believing being Cam Newton was enough “This is the facts, and this is why the gift is the curse. My own worst enemy will always be me. I done jumped in some messed up situations. This ain’t no remorse. This ain’t no, ‘I want somebody to feel sorry for me.’” “This is me acknowledging that I understand. I’ll own up to jumping into some messed up situations. The New England experience was a messed up situation. I was still learning the offense seven to eight weeks into the season.” “As a quarterback, you have to look the part, act the part and be the part. There was countless hours with people trying to teach me certain things, and it was just brain overload.” “There were times I’m going to the line and I’m still thinking. I’m thinking about the enunciation of the play. I’m thinking about my motions. I’m thinking about my sight adjust.” “Did I know it? Yes. To the degree that I needed to know it in order to show the world that I’m still Cam Newton? No.” “But I put myself in that situation.” “Now Carolina, I put myself in another messed up situation. I was signed on Thursday. I played on Sunday. At what point did you think you were going to be successful?” “That next week I started. That’s still under ten days of you being on a team, and you’re still trying to learn an offense. Before I sit up here and allow the narrative to be made that Cam ain’t got it no more, Cam is taking full responsibility and saying that Cam put himself in a messed up situation.” “Which then had a ricochet effect to people thinking I was done.”

You know, the only reason they created that IG account was… For us. It was never about fame or money. It was their way of reaching out when everything around them was falling apart. A place where they tried to share small moments of happiness, excitement, love, and peace with us, even when they barely had any left for themselves. They made it because they were worried. Because they knew we were worried. Because they didn’t want the people who cared about them to sit there wondering if they were okay. And honestly, it was during that time that we saw them in a way we never had before. Real, unfiltered, not dressed up by a company, not edited, not scripted. Just them. That little page carried so much, didn’t it? They taught us so many things without ever needing to put on a show. Through every live and every small update, they showed us what real courage looks like, what honesty feels like, and how powerful someone can be even when everything around them is pushing back. But it was also a place that held their fear, their stress, their sleepless nights, and the weight of knowing the whole world was watching and anything they said could be twisted in an instant. It was a happy place. But never an easy one. We went through so much during that period. From the excitement of seeing them as NJZ to the shock of their injunction being enforced. So many times we thought we saw the light at the end of the tunnel, only for it to turn out to be a fire blocking the path. From excitement to anger, hope to hopelessness, joy to despair, ADHD to depression… everything, all at once. Calling it a roller coaster is an understatement. A lot changed after that. Too much, maybe. But some things never do. And after everything, it doesn’t really matter what comes next anymore. As long as they get to be truly happy, truly safe, and truly loved as human beings who deserved that from the very beginning, that’s enough for us. As long as it’s still Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein. That’s all that matters in the end. 🍀 #NewJeans #Jeanzforfree #NJZ #MhDHH_Friends
