    It definitely feels like Dunbar’s Number is a gate to keep this from being effective in large communities.

    If we can’t view more than a finite amount of other humans as being “real,” how do we begin to get massively large groups of humans to care for one another? This is a question I don’t have the answer to.

      Because you don’t have to view them as “real” to know that caring for others can make things better for you too.

      I don’t think the issue is the being able to care, the issue is the arseholes turning groups against each other for their own gain.

        “I only do the right thing because God will punish me if I don’t” vibes lol.

        Why can’t you just operate from a principle of making things better for everyone?
