I would argue that they are better than unhappy assholes.
As a corollary, the happier the assholes are, the better person/more agreeable they would be, and I have found that statement to be true.
- shawndumas 16y agoI would argue that they are better than unhappy assholes. What if doing hurtful things makes them happy?
- gjm11 16y agoThat doesn't say anything about whether making them happy in other ways reduces their assholishness. It might do. (Perhaps they have a certain happiness setpoint, and if they're not made happy enough by other things then they'll achieve it by being assholes.) Or it might not. (Perhaps they associate happiness with assholishness, and an increase in either provokes an increase in the other.)
- shawndumas 16y agoOk, what if being an asshole makes one happy? ;)
- tome 16y agoThis sounds highly implausible from what I know of happiness. Being an asshole helps them cope? Sure. Makes them happy? No.
