British anthropologist Robin Dunbar’s research suggests humans are only able to maintain around 150 meaningful relationships at a time. Because of the size of the human brain, namely the neocortex, humans are limited to a finite number of relationships at once. Does knowing 999 people mean you know their souls and feelings? The higher the number of “connections”, the more superficial and demanding these relationships become. When did we become superficial relationship complexes, collecting relations like tokens? Is this living? Are we really thriving?
