The Limitation of the Social Network Analysis Approach

There is enough converging evidence that we do influence each other to basically say, look, let's assume that there is some prediction going on and then try to unpack it. I can see a lot of ways in which yes, friends, especially in your teens twenties, unless when you're at the advanced stage that you and i are, could have a deep influence on how your life actually turns out. So i am coming down a little bit on the side of yes here, with reservations.
