Like wolves, humans are limited to the number of individuals we can connect with in order to form packs. The difference between humans packs and wolf packs though, is that human packs are more fluid and can overlap. All the wolves in a single pack are bound to the same individuals and cannot deviate. Each human however, has their own individual pack where each member has their own pack with different and separate members. This is pack overlap.

All human packs are the same. The only difference in our world is density of packs, not size of packs. A small country town has fewer overlapping packs, spread out over a larger territory. While cities have many overlapping packs crammed into a smaller space. Actually, another difference is that people in cities have greater freedom to be choosy about who they connect to and form packs with. Allowing them to hyper individualize their personal expression.

Today, the internet and identity politics have pressured people into trying to extend their packs to include as many people as possible, without limitations. The only way people can this is to fake the connection. This materializes and devalues connections and ends up weakening all packs, and the structure of all the overlapping packs together.

It is like if each and every neuron in our brain insisted on communicating with each and every other neuron directly without following any pattern or structure of communication.
