@Zaxel There's no reason they have to be mutually exclusive in practice. It's just a thought experiment.

@YourBuddyRandall well what have you learned from this thought experiment , or what are you testing?

@Zaxel Nothing too intense.
I tend to value stronger bonds, but I can see the value of being able to "call in" favors logically.
It's two different kinds of security.

@YourBuddyRandall strong bonds are good for emotional security and radical emergencies (provided its strong enough) but i find that large networks are a security in a prosperous sense, it helps you move forward rather than 'get by'. so if i had to argue which one was superior, its the large network...aside from the emotional factor from strong bonds which cannot be replicated in a large network.
