That is to say, they are just one or two degrees apart and it don’t mean that it cannot work on a larger scale. There are larger communities like the scientific community, of course, that have common knowledge and there are evidently more than 20 thousand people. But my point being in a non-geographically binded community, in a community that is connected primarily through the Internet, it is far harder to build correct mental models of each other using today’s technology. But if people are only 1 or 2 degrees apart, we can make hybrid arrangements that make up for this deficiency. And then, when we do that, we still have common intent, common belief.
