A comparative experiment in experimental economics between Japan and the U.S. shows that Japanese students are more likely than their American counterparts to pull the legs of those who free-ride even at a loss to themselves. // Another similar experiment with Japanese and U.S. graduate students showed that Japanese students were more likely than their American counterparts to try to make their non-participating counterparts lose money, even if it considerably lowers their own profits.

Regarding the original sentence [“…it seems that there is a system built into the national system to spot the real ones among the stakes and support them without hesitation.
- That is not to say “the stakes are high.
- The “out of the box” attitude is a form of “the stakes are high,” and even if the content of the work is good, it will be beaten just because it is out.
- It is natural to strike at things where there is a discrepancy between the claim and the reality, or to strike at things that are detrimental to one’s own interests.
- I don’t benefit from it, but beating it for the public good of society is, well, not so bad.
