decreasing EQ/increasing group size - is culture is a get-out-of-Dunbar's-number free card? https://www.pelicanbooks.com/the-domesticated-brain/preface …pic.twitter.com/aKtdYAWbAG
Culture is a reality management and group coordination device so valuable it's worth more than a tennis ball of brain.
@sarahdoingthing if ur brain is already a few tennis balls deep
@sarahdoingthing (for broader definitions of culture, look at birds, they have like a tenth of a tennis ball of brain)
@sarahdoingthing (i hear chickens (dumb for birds) can keep track of status relations up to group sizes of like 15(??) then they lose track)
@sarahdoingthing (supposedly if you can't keep track of all life-relevant status relations then conflict occurs, in barns say. (in prisons))
@willdoingthings YES interesting - there's a famous tribe of baboons where all the alpha males died & the social structures totally changed
@willdoingthings anyway I wonder how much weird plastic stuff like that went on in history and how it affects us - everything is changeable
@willdoingthings (well not everything but you know what I mean)
