Three major points:
1. We are hardwired for a maximum of 150 social relationships:
– Average prehistoric tribe size limit: 150
– Average medieval English village size: 150
– Average modern wedding size: 141
2. Reciprocity has been devalued in recent decades due to the advent of social media.
3. The average person can cull half their friends and be happier.
Best comments:
You don’t get real friends and buying makes your world small. Friends you earn by being one yourself.
Friendship is an illusion. Friendship is a dream A package of scrap, with a thin layer of chrome
There is no such thing as long-lasting friendship only everlasting interests, once the interest evaporates the friends drift apart.
