Philosophy What would happen if every human knew eachother ?

And there was no such thing as strangers ?

There would be no incels and femcels. Fact.
Everyone would have someone attracted to them, even if it's one person and they're not attracted back.
The saying, "There's someone out there for everyone," is more than likely true; however, nobody can verify that for sure as there's over eight billion in the world, but given the high amount of people, the likelihood of that statement being factual is very, very high.
I guess being completely and utterly disabled and disfigured might make it more difficult to "find" someone (if nobody was strangers and all eight billion knew each other) but there's definitely people into that sort of shit, so maybe not.
So, rounding back to my point:
Everyone would have someone attracted to them, and there'd be less loneliness and more relationships even if it is long-distance spanning continents or countries.
Interesting question. Good post, genuinely.

@incelkingkong I'm curious what you disagree with me on.

Thanks and great thought provoking answer.

There would be a lot less judgment and more understanding, I think. People would be less quick to condemn and dehumanize strangers. There's a degree of care that comes from knowing someone (At least, if the relationship is positive.) and if everyone knew each other then the next step, being 'one big family' is a lot closer.

Or it would implode and it would be the Tower of Babel all over again... Hmm...

Most humans are NPCs jfl. Some guy remote viewed (RVed) humanity and said that 75-85% are NPCs

 

[qqq]

Research suggests that the average person can recognize and remember
approximately 5,000 faces throughout their lifetime. This number includes people from personal life, school, work, and familiar faces from the media

1. Not enough context — 8 billion people = infinite drama feed with no block button. You'd know everyone's ex's name, their weird uncle, and that time they cried in the bathroom at work. Instant mental DDoS.

2. Dunbar's number is real — science says humans can only maintain deep, meaningful relationships with 150 people max (the classic limit from Robin Dunbar's research on social group sizes in primates/humans). Beyond that it's acquaintances (500), beyond ~1500 it's just names/faces. "Truly caring" about thousands? Brain hardware literally can't do it. Everyone else becomes background noise.

3. We'd 100% kill way more people if we truly knew them — right now most folks are filtered through polite distance, social media highlights, and "don't ask don't tell." Remove the filter? You see the cheating, the backstabbing, the cruelty to animals, the secret kinks, the grudges, the lies they tell their kids. Proximity + knowledge = contempt on steroids. The murder rate would go parabolic. We'd all end up with 150 ride-or-dies and a lot of shallow graves.

Ride or dies ?

Ride or dies ?

A ride or die nigga is the homie (or shorty) who got your back no matter what; through the ups, the downs, the police stops, the broke days, the wins, the losses, even when you're dead wrong. They don't fold, don't snitch, don't dip when shit gets hot. Loyalty over everything. If you call at 3 a.m. from jail, they already on the way with bail money and a lawyer. If you in a beef, they're swinging first. No questions, no hesitation.


TL;DR

A ride or die, a friend who is loyal to a fault. They would die for you they would kill for you. If you don't have at least one by 25 that probably means you arnt build for one.
