Dunbar's number leaps to mind. I wonder what our systems look like at large when we have cause to strengthen our 150 meaningful connections.

Would this truly be a move back? I've met people outside my social class and disposition who seem to rely quite heavily on networking this way.

This is exactly the reason

Human biological limits prevent the realization of stable equilibrium at the scale of coordination necessary for larger emergent superstructures

Humans need to figure out how to become a eusocial superorganism because we’re past the point where individual groups don’t produce externalities that are existential to other groups/individuals

I don’t think that’s possible, so I’m just building the machine version
