It is much simpler than this. Humans are social animals, we need upto 1000 close family members. Not friends, not colleagues, not church members - relatives. They should be really close, like you should see them almost every day. If you don't you develop unhealthy relationships with people who really don't care about you much. And this means you are alone in this world and you must be stressed - something is going to happen and nobody is going to help. This is natural reaction to an abnormal situation.
- rak00n 7y agoI hear you but in this situation what else can be done other than marching forward with self reliance and accepting the circumstances?
- rusabd 7y agoI accept that I cannot fix it for myself, but I am trying to make it easier for my children. Hopefully, they will have enough resources to fix it for their children.
- lainga 7y agoHow do you keep track of 1000 people a day? What are your thoughts on the existence and estimates of Dunbar's number?
- rusabd 7y agoSmall villages where everyone is a relative are very common in the recent past. In same places it is still the case. Modern man has up to 1000 "relatives" for sure. It just happened to be people who don't care about that person or not even aware he or she exists (celebrities for instance) I heard about Dunbar number from pop-science articles, and it feels right. Isn't Marines companies size based on this number? Must be true then.
