Six degrees

There are 7.8 billion people on the planet, yet we are connected to each of them by just six people. Of course, it has to be the right six people, but it’s a fascinating concept.

If you find six degrees of separation a remarkable concept, or if you are skeptical, I recommend this Veritasium video. It’s not long, but it does a deep dive into how we are all linked.

In an age when it feels like we are becoming more and more distanced from each other, I think it is nice to know that connections still exist.
