Re: The psychology of the bully [Re: GenesisCorrupted] * 1

Bullying happens because it's highly effective. You take someone who would outcompete you, who is better than you in some way, and you reduce that threat to zero often for the rest of the person's life. That's why it's common across societies and cultures. It's an instinct to remove the competition, and it's highly effective at doing so.

There are two downsides. One, it's detrimental as an adult to try to bully people in the workplace and in life. People who bully are more likely to have higher degrees of antisocial behavior in general, which holds them back as an adult. Two, the more prevalent bullying is, the more likely that the bully will be bullied themselves, which puts the bully at the same disadvantage that they were trying to cause in others. It's a bucket of crabs type scenario where the more people are doing it, the less helpful it is to the people doing it.

Because it is an instinctual behavior, it'll likely take thousands of years to weed out of the gene pool.
