Not refuting this but I just remembered something that inspired me way back when I was an intern - the book of five rings - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings I guess the essence of what I got from it, was if someone is attacking you, you want to observe how they’re doing it and what you think is driving them to do it. The idea I got from the Book of Five Rings is that for any type of attack there is a response that can stop the attack in a single strike. That response varies depending on the attack. But that’s how I came to group laughter being the “strike” that will usually stop the intentional asshole / office bully type. And yes that may sound like childish, school playground stuff but often the reason someone behaves badly in an office hs it’s roots in their childhood
