The surprising meaning of the number 150
The number 150 can have different meanings depending on the context. On the one hand, it can be a common number, like bus line 150 in Madrid or Barcelona. For those with a more cultural background, 150 represents the number of psalms in the Bible, and it was also the year Ptolemy published the first atlas.
But beyond that, 150 is a human number that we all carry within us, known as Dunbar's number. This number represents the limit of social relationships a human being can maintain, according to research by anthropologist Robin Dunbar in 1992. This limit refers both to stable relationships and to the size of a stable group without a formal authority structure, such as a company or the military.
Dunbar also discovered that this number is related to the size of the neocortex in our brain, and it appears in various historical and cultural contexts, such as the average population of a Neolithic settlement, the number of scholars in a discipline, or the number of soldiers in a military unit.
Currently, the number 150 applies to video games, marketing, and sales, and it's important to keep in mind that you can't do business with someone if you're not within their social circles. Therefore, it's crucial to know how many circles you have and how to optimize your authentic relationships for the benefit of your brand or company.
