my point was just that abusing others for your self-benefit is an adaptive behavior.
Thank you for clarifying that, I got confused about to whom it benefited.
This is exactly the kind of thinking I was hoping to provoke.
That is excellent to know. And thank you for providing that provocation. It could become valuable self-knowledge for me.
And yes agreed it can be a very necessary component for artists, while I have no doubt there are a lot of artists who spend their artistic lives exploring and discovering that worldview which is unbeknownst to themselves (Picasso perhaps? Fernando Pessoa too? The Moonage Daydream documentary begins with Bowie saying that all artists are attempting to define their relationship with the world) one of the most repeated things that is said about writers, filmmakers, and other creatives is that the adored ones have a distinct “voice” or “point of view”.
This even works in the inverse, fashion designer Miuccia Prada one opined that “to hate something is the origin of my work”

I like that quote.
