thread on Dunbar's "anatomy of friendship" paper, expanding on the famous "Dunbar number". h/t @__drewface for the rec 150 is the number of people with whom you can have a "mutual, reciprocal relationship of trust and obligation, combined with a willingness to act prosocially".

my beef with mental health culture is that it adopts the medical frame, so saying you have a mental health issue is equivalent to saying "I have a problem and I'm outsourcing the solution to the professional class of therapists and psychiatrists".

Details in 🧵 I was trying to reproduce the original study as closely as possible (you know, like a normal person) and stumbled on this paragraph in the famous 1997 paper that everyone cites (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…)
