Multiple hypothesis I can quickly think of, I wouldn't know which ones are correct or not :
- "Don't be a dick" doesn't offer any advantage for one's genome transmission, meaning any genetic base to being a dick will get transmitted no problem.
- Being a dick propagates, while not being one doesn't, meaning the society has a whole becomes "dick-ish by default" (much like entropy, with dick-iness) unless this is actively acted on.
- Religions, culture, nations, companies... actively encourage people to being dicks to everybody not in their group, to preserve and expand the group, meaning we're actively trained to being dicks by our social environment
- Our brains default to "everyone is an enemy unless proven otherwise" , meaning people will tend to be dicks by default.
- Not being a dick makes one socially vulnerable, so it's only achievable in very safe contexts and not by default
