    I don’t think that’s true by itself. I think you also have to be good at pretending to be a “good” person (or at least only being “bad” to the out-group). We are social creatures. If someone is showing obvious antisocial behavior, they get shunned from the group.

      IME it’s exactly the opposite. the most anti social people are the most socially rewarded. the sociopaths, psychopaths, and narcissists are far more socially popular than any other type.

      the most altruistic people are shunned because tehir altruism makes other people feel bad.

      but i live in the USA.
