@joby I like your theory but I think it has to be understood in the context of the social system in which the assholes and the thoughtful people exist. If the system is self-reinforcing of good and punishing of assholishness, then it will quickly reverse the energy calculation.
To some extent, we have pockets of this called "friends" & "family" where the asshole behavior will usually (but not always) cost you a LOT. It's easier to be "nice" and cooperative (which can have its own problems too)
