the "monkey sphere" theory, which I've heard of before (though never heard it called that) as I've been interested in sociology for years, is really cool. And I find 150 to be a pretty hard limit for how many people I can truly care about on a individual level. I'm sad when strangers die, but 150 is about how many people I can love or keep track of as individuals. And, without me doing anything to consciously make it so, my LJ friends list tends to hover at about 150. (very few of my friends aren't on LJ, as I tend to badger them until they join ) And I do keep only people I care about on my friends list.
