That&#x27;s an interesting use of the word &quot;asshole&quot;.<p>There is this philosopher who picked apart the word &quot;asshole&quot; to try gain insight into what it means. I liked his definition of it -- someone acting out of entitled superiority.<p>There are lots of folks who are like that. I don&#x27;t generally distinguish people along the lines of &quot;mainstream&quot; and &quot;counter-culture&quot; in my head. It&#x27;s more of whether someone is superficial, or someone is impeccable or has integrity. So sure, I&#x27;ve met asshole counter-culture &quot;types&quot;. I&#x27;ve also met some very interesting people too.<p>Have you read that article about the philosophy of jerks?
