My anecdotal observations fit this, but I wonder if this phenomenon is a result not of beliefs but of a) class solidarity + b) law of large numbers = greater chance of an anchor altruist or two emerging in the mass-class to coordinate non-tragic commons responses

If 1 in 100 is altruist leader and there are 100 coach and 10 first class passengers the coach class will achieve altruistic coordination and first class will go Hobbesian with 90% probability right?

Okay the paper underlying this is meh. Just a sort of anecdotal survey and a case for why the idea of elite panic ought to be studied. Doesn’t actually offer much beyond suggestive anecdotes. And neither helps nor hurt the Katz case beyond supplying a term. Ht

Talking about groups as monoliths (The Jews, Men, Blacks) is ALMOST ALWAYS for one primary purpose, to demonize. It allows the pinning of unusual bad behavior onto all reps of the group. The single weakest aspect of current political thought is this “groupthink”.

vgr’s example seems an especially naked case of this. I’d like to see a lot more detail of exactly how the experiments were structured, the differential responses at the individual level, etc.
