Summary

A thought experiment: if all social models collapse and we must restart civilization from scratch, what is the minimum number of people needed?

Using three scientific thresholds:

  1. Biological — The 50/500 rule from conservation biology (Wright, Frankham, Traill)
  2. Intellectual — Cognitive diversity for self-organization (Page, Dunbar)
  3. Psychological — Isolation and conflict risks in high-IQ communities (Dąbrowski)

Combined with Buddhist impermanence (Vô thường) and dependent origination (Duyên khởi) as the social operating system — not as religion, but as a framework that prevents power accumulation and enables conscious self-organization.

Conclusion: 1,500 people — a number that satisfies all three thresholds and serves as the seed for a new civilization oriented toward cosmic expansion.

Key References

  • Wright (1931), Frankham et al. (2014), Traill et al. (2007) — MVP genetics

  • Dunbar (1992) — Social group limits
  • Dąbrowski (1964) — Positive disintegration
  • Trivers (1971) — Reciprocal altruism

Notable Angle

Includes honest analysis of four failure modes: cultural mutation, founder effect, AI dependency, and the paradox of meaning in a world where everything is impermanent.

A thought experiment on minimum viable civilization: 1,500 people with
IQ 130+ and Buddhist impermanence/dependent origination as the social
operating system. Covers the 50/500 rule from conservation biology,
cognitive diversity thresholds, psychological isolation risks, and the
role of AI as operational backbone. Includes references to Wright,
Frankham, Page, Dunbar, Dąbrowski, and Trivers.
