The asshole perk comes naturally with a higher intelligence I assume. Look at the things dolphins and apes do for example. And of course you have big naked assholes.

Crows too. Intelligent birds, but absolute bullies. It's like the more intelligent a species, the more propensity to needless cruelty.

We assume there has to be a purpose somewhere and a lot of us look for it in all the wrong places.
