When you find the one…. #grownostr

This is one of the better wingsuit vids I’ve seen. Three different camera angles, including a flyby on his family. But the FP POV really captures the gut wrenching acceleration of the exit. I rarely post YT links, but this was exceptional. Clean link. #base #grownostr

Me: What is the impact on an individual when they reach the upper limit of Dunbar’s number in terms of meaningful online contacts on social media. GPT: Good question — when someone’s meaningful online social contacts push up against Dunbar’s number (~150), the effects are similar to what happens in offline life, but with some online twists. Here are the main impacts on an individual: 1. Cognitive Overload    •   The brain has limited capacity to track social cues, histories, and obligations.    •   Beyond ~150 meaningful ties, people start to forget details, misread signals, or confuse relationships.    •   Emotional energy becomes spread too thin, leading to weaker bonds overall. 2. Decline in Relationship Quality    •   Stronger ties (family, closest friends) may get neglected as weaker ones demand time and attention.    •   “Shallowing out” happens — many relationships remain surface-level, with little depth or intimacy. 3. Increased Social Stress    •   More connections means more notifications, requests, obligations, and possible conflicts.    •   Fear of missing out (FOMO) and guilt from not keeping up with everyone can set in. 4. Shifts in Social Dynamics    •   People often end up forming sub-groups or cliques within their network to cope.    •   The social fabric gets fragmented, and trust doesn’t scale well beyond small clusters. 5. Emotional Drain    •   Constantly switching emotional gears between many different relationships can cause fatigue.    •   Attention becomes a scarce resource, and meaningful connections may feel less rewarding. 6. Compensation Strategies People unconsciously adapt when they hit Dunbar’s ceiling:    •   Prioritization – focusing attention on ~5–15 closest people.    •   Outsourcing memory – using reminders, apps, and feeds to keep track of others.    •   Performative interaction – broadcasting updates instead of personal exchanges, to “maintain” relationships at scale. In short: when you max out Dunbar’s number online, you don’t suddenly lose connections — but the quality of relationships thins out, stress rises, and your closest ties can suffer if you don’t deliberately protect them. #limitscreentime
