mybestkungfu's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monkeysphere's Lunch "the Dunbar number (or Monkeysphere), (which is 150 for humans), represents a theoretical maximum number of individuals with whom a set of people can maintain a social relationship, the kind of relationship that goes with knowing who each person is and how each person relates socially to every other person". The people who exist outside our monkeysphere are not people to us. They're sort of one-dimensional bit characters. like - for example - you don't think of the garbage guy as a father/brother/son to someone, someone who's hands might get cut because you don't wrap your smashed dishes properly, you think of him as the Thing That Makes the Trash go Away. it sounded like my old theory of how each person is like a nightclub. 2:02 p.m. - Oct. 09, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
