    Along the same theoretical lines, it seems plausible to me that the inner stresses of being an asshole might do the same thing. So maybe there’s some justice in the world after all.

      I would like to believe this, unfortunately the large number of very old assholes seems to indicate otherwise.

        I think the trick is not caring that you are one and probably believing you are always right, everyone else doesn’t matter and that you are the center of the universe, so that the side effects really don’t apply to you because that’s your reality no remorse to dwell on.

        You think you hate being around them, they have to be around them all the time. They lose if they live a long or a short time.
