This seems worth more work … probably dozens of studies been done already … a conjecture has often popped up, that we each effectively live in a very small world of a very few close friends and family we know best and see most often, a group of others who support us and vice versa, maybe a hundred we know by face or name, and then another hundred celebrities and politicians and writers … so what does it mean to be a citizen of a city of millions, a world of billions?

We lived for years in Hood River, a picture book town of 7500 in Oregon, — it didn't feel a whole lot different from living in Santa Rosa, a town of 180,000 … because we only interact with a few hundred anyway? — b.rad
