Interesting idea. I intuit it as a more continuous problem (despite being a narcissist myself) as living in increasing sized groups dilutes the pool on an individual level, too much communication required to stay up to date and similar stuff. Kinda like a civilizational Dunbar Limit. (As an aunicornist in world view, feel this more akin to sorting somehow. You can’t get below a certain O(f(n)) efficiency per added units).
