Life, More Abundantly

The interesting thing about the Dunbar number and related research, is that it gives a maximum number beyond which attempts at socialization/organization are counter-productive. Some of the related research describes max limits on even smaller groups.

Which brings me to my question. Why assume more social interaction means more life? Some social interaction is important, but I think it's reasonable to assume having one's own room can contribute to ones quality of life more than sleeping in the same room with a bunch of folks.

Logically, more life means more living people, as in more children.

Abundantly:
It means an increase in quality of life.
Relationships are an important part of quality of life, assuming those relationships are actually quality relationships.
Then there's having a longer life, better health, more wealth, etc...

Balance is important here.
