So you are criticising the over simplification presented here and I agree with you.
I would however point out that although I also don't like the binary aspect of their blurb, I find that I would quite agree with their final sentence. I don't think the test shows whether we are a good or a bad person, but it does say something about a person's ability to fit in a society.
I think it's a interesting experiment I just thought it was funny how those who don't return were demonized.
The shopping cart theory, as written here, starts as a litmus test for whether a person is capable of self governing and descends into two paths:
Self-governance: Are you a good person or a monster? There is no middle ground.
WRONG there is a third option where i take the cart home and eat it with my teeth 😬
Become ungovernable
Or, when people live within walking distance of the store, take the cart home, unload your groceries and then leave the cart by the street.
good way to get your teeth stronger for the "eat the rich" movement
Fourth option: I filled the cart with groceries, it is now my home.
