Decreasing cognitive load in general makes people more rational. Joshua Greene cites that under a cognitive task, people are more likely to eat cake than an apple. There is less resource left for high-order cognitive tasks, like ‘avoid cake’.
Meaning that hurrying Koreans are dedicating less cognition to “to litter or not to litter” and if bins were around, they simply wouldn’t have to do that.
I felt the exact same.
