Dunbar's Number and Social Networks

The hosts explore the concept of Dunbar's Number, which suggests that the average person can maintain meaningful relationships with around 150 people. They discuss examples of companies and historical societies that align with this idea, as well as the variation in the number of friends individuals have. The chapter also touches on the impact of social media, communication challenges in larger groups, and the increasing complexity of the modern world.
