🔗 You are the center of concentric circles, Mark Dykeman

It’s another one of those Dunbar posts, the concentric circles are so random that I was reduced to asking ChatGPT ..

“What is the difference between a friend, good friends, best friends and close friends?

A less than satisfactory answer, though it did seem to agree with me (and the author) that a ‘Best Friend’ is closer than a ‘Close Friend’. Other than that? Yeah - no.

And the numbers

• 5 close/best friends
  
• 10 more best / close friends
  
• 35 more good friends

This week Rob is a bit more serious than usual - but he’s on an important topic - the ‘truth in history’ versus ‘but it doesn’t make for good drama’ schtick. Something else we agree on - - even though he doesn’t know that!

He ends with how all of this is ‘kind of ok’ in Entertainment - but maybe not so much in reality. You know what I’m talkin' about!
