‘Dunbar's number’ deconstructed

26. Dunbar’s number has been challenged in recent studies, but the idea we are limited in our capacity to care about people outside of a small group of people is fairly clear. It makes it difficult to care about most problems—much less future generations.

@vilinskyy I want to say Dunbar's number of about 150 individuals, but I'm not sure if that applies to digital relationships https://t.co/OHJGu3GsPY

@antonella_risso It came from a friend but is a quote from Robin Dunbar, he of the number: https://t.co/HFKXwaBOIs.

@anon75374998 @0xNosedrop https://t.co/EYFV7j6RxY Doesn't mean limit doesn't exist, but Dunbar number could be larger or smaller than someone's current number of stable relationships https://t.co/hu9ua3yNT9

Jinx! We were literally just talking about Dunbar's number at our @SpeedCurve offsite last week. Interesting stuff: https://t.co/pbG4hdyNMs #smashingconf

@KevinGoldsmith It's an interesting but unfounded concept. Towards your point, it's been suggested that increasing requires "more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group" which might be par for the distributed cours

Among primates, relative neocortex size seems to be correlated with social group size. Implications not very nice for those who want to find the truth. https://t.co/RBKmSPDnxC
