There's also the possibility of Boltzmann brain hallucinating things, but since there is no way to prove or disprove it, that's still not a reason to be an asshole

In fact, if I am a brain in a vat hallucinating the world, then all the people I interact with are just aspects of myself.

So if I'm an asshole to other people, really, I'm an asshole to me.

Just a fun tidbit: The guy who proposed the math for the many worlds hypothesis, Hugh Everett, was reportedly a huge asshole (and abused his own health) because he figured that in a lot of other versions he was a swell guy.
