Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Oxford University, developed a theory in the 1990s dubbed Dunbar's Number. The theory contends that the human brain is only capable of managing relationships--staying in contact at least once per year and knowing how friends relate to others--with about 150 people.
Until recently, it was believed that that only pertained to "offline" relationships.
Dunbar has now decided to shift focus to see whether Facebook has changed the number.
It hasn't.
Whether he would be or not, it's funny to watch him go on these shows and be roundly ridiculed, even though he truly is one of the few people who predicted the economic mess.
And not only did he predict it, he can explain to you why it happened and why it's going to get worse. (Here's a clue: we don't treat heroin addicts with extra doses of heroin.)
OK, no juvenile jokes about this please. But this was too crazy not to share.
