Dunbar's number is the number of people in a group who can have a meaningful relationship with everyone else in the group. It's about 150. I think a lot of internet communities fail to get much more intimate than they could because they go far too over Dunbar's Number, thus Dunbar's Hideout will be an attempt to return back to the ancient tribe like community, bonding together as one ridiculously inter-connected tight tribe-giant.

This is a great video.

The key part of being in a tribe is everyone is close friends with each other. Friendship comes from repeated, iterated exposure. Vulnerability suffers when there's thousands of silent onlookers, thus if you wish to join, please be sure that you will be able to participate a fair fair bit over the next few months at least. We want any newcomers to be familiar with who you are on the timescale of mere days, so that they can feel comfortable.

Dunbar's Hideout will thrive only from feverrent group participation, so please, please only sign up if you're sure that's something you'll be available to do. And a strong interest in self-improvement / learning would be a good thing to align on, if that's something that appeals to you.

In Dunbar's Hideout we will be able to trust each other fully! We will be able to bring our own problems to the limelight without feeling like we are taking the spotlight! To sit happily in a voice chat with no fear of who joins! To reveal dark secrets and grow stronger! To repel with a burning sensation inside you the armies of scientists who wish to ensnare you with addiction and stress while you are caught on your own, tribeless! We will thrive!

From 'Nerds can be bees too'

> feeling like you’re really connected to other people, not just in a “they share my goals and seem okay” way but in a “these are my people, we form a tribe or a community or, while on horseback, a horde” way is one of life’s greatest pleasures and also a pretty important subgoal to anything that requires cooperation with other people.

What's your name?

Why do you want to join the tribe? What sorts of things do you think a tribe should be for? *

How much do you value honesty?

I can't remember a day in which I didn't tell a lie

I do my very best to never lie

Are you seriously, actually properly interested in taking frequent part in discussions with the group, being vulnerable and growing closer to people over a long period of time? And you're not just signing up because of inertia, or because "what the heck", or peer pressure? (I really do not like coercing people into doing things they don't want to do, so please only answer yes if forming a tribe is something that seriously actually excites your very bones!) *

(Theoretical, optional) Scientists have suddenly learned for a fact that carrots are fully conscious. Your thoughts?
