I’ll lump two thoughts in here—one relates to SilentCat the other elsewhere but...
Like others I think this is a great insight and should be looked at by the authors, or other interested social scientists. I think it relates to a question I ask myself from time to time, though generally don’t get too far in answering. Where do we draw the line between public and private spheres of action?
I don’t think that is a fixed/static division over time and seems to have important implication for public policy. I’m tempted to say it might with the above proposed efficiency division. I’m not sure though.
The over-all results and some of the other comments also made me wonder if history—particularly as most of these locations seem to have been former USSR members. I’m just wondering if perhaps the culture legacy would support the behavior if innocent people were just as likely to be punished for what might be actions of other attempting to make everyone’s lives better (but often I suspect viewed as a threat to the authorities and government powers).
