wonder whether people who are aggressive, interpersonally, realize they're basically disincentivizing people who are more relaxed from interacting with them think there are short term wins from aggression but my hunch is the long term costs are substantial and cumulative

theory 2: aggressiveness in conversation is correlated with other beneficial things - like sickle cell anemia and malaria resistance. E.g. one puts up with an aggressive VC friend bc he also throws off money and jobs

and orthogonal point: your framing is implicitly "why do they CHOOSE to do this totally optional thing?" when in fact it's probably maybe fairly characterological and not something they can turn off ("why do tall people keeping BEING TALL man!?!?")

sure, it's an infinite continuum in a theoretical sense, but people are not infinitely and evenly distributed across it

People hear things they want to hear. People who aggressively do not want to hear a thing, will likely not be told the thing.
