  Thanks! Paper https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adw9995 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adw9995 At a glance Fig 2 looks most interesting.. last panel compares "monolithic" US to Canada with their giant error bars.. (Canadians become more honest but less trustworthy??!! Need to look at supps to make sense of that ! https://aspredicted.org/ZR9_Z1Y https://aspredicted.org/ZR9_Z1Y ) Unbelievably, I am here to comment on an idea of PH's (IIRC) that the only way to improve local trust-levels is to import children from high-trust environments. This study may give a clue to how to figure out an ideal age-of-transplant! He was thinking of Mamdani-- I think the argument was that he grew up around high trust (Brahmin left?) adults but got thrust into progressively less trustful environments (Africa -> Columbia/upper west side -> NYC in general)
