I just realized that "6 degrees of separation" theory is sooooo true
 

For those who don't know what that is, 6 degrees of separation is the theory that everyone is connected to everyone else in the world by 6 people (degrees) or less. In other words, I may not know someone, but I may know someone who knows someone who knows that person. With that said, I just realized that I know soooo many famous people by just 2 degrees of separation.

Examples:

1. I played golf with Jimmy Bland many times. I didn't know he used to Caddy for Butch Harmon. And, for those who don't know, Butch Harmon used to be Tiger Wood's swing coach. Therefore, I know Tiger Woods within 3 degrees of separation...WOW!

So...If I know Tiger within 3 degrees, I know damn near EVERYBODY else within 4 degrees of separation.


2. I met our County Executive on a golf course and putted around with him. The County Executive is the person right above mayor of an area. Well, he of course knows the governor of Maryland, which in turn knows the President and many other famous people. So, I know George Bush by 3 degrees of separation!


3. I mentored ex-mayor Marion Barry's god son last year. He was the mayor of D.C. for many terms until he was arrested for trying to buy COCAINE, ON TV!!!!!!!!!!!!


4. Twista heard me rap because Jae Gutta, a member of this site who doesn't post alot, let him hear one of our collabs. So, I know Twista within 2 degrees of separation!!!!!!!! Therefore, if I know Twista within 2 degrees of separation, I know MAAAAAAAAAAAAD other Celebrities definitely within 3-4 degrees. I don't even have to use all 6 degrees!!!!




Give your own examples of degrees of separation...


HOLLA!

That theory is bullshit...

You cannot, even in 6 degrees of seperation know anyone from say.......... Tibet.....
Or possibly... A japanese arm's dealer living just outside tokyo..

And by the way.. Yeah you might know george bush within 3 degres of seperation. But does he know you? Uhhhh no.

^^^ yes he knows Q within three degrees separation...

Well take me for instance..

Tell me how I know vladameir that lives in moscow in russia to any degree..

This theory is impossable. Fuck it off....

LMAO...i dunno.........i was just kiddin....

the theory is bullocks....kinda dumb to think its plausible

Is he the president of Russia?


If so...U know me...I know the county exec...he knows the governor...who knows BUSH..who in turn knows the president of russia

that's 5 degrees

exactly...

I like to play around with this theory with celebrities...I think it DEF. works well on that level


It works...basically...it's like a web that u have to choose the most direct route to the person ur linking to


by this theory, I know everyone in Nos family within 2 degrees...and if they know someone...It branches out...

so if I know thousands of people...and they know thousands...and they know thoudsands...and they know thousands...this theory is possible

lmao exactly....... but damn that shit's coo... lol

I know yo mama within one degree of separation sooooooo...

so that means u know my daddy too...can u please tell me where he is?

^^^GOSH DARN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


hey Soc...u on a diet?

SO basically... I know the priest.. who knows the cardinal.. who knows the pope.. who probably knows people who would know jesus through spritual shit........ who knows god... who knows everyone..... sooo i kno everyoneeeee bitches...

No hes a regular guy living in an appartment block in a slum area of moscow, that name is popular in russia, theres gotta atleast be 1 or 2 that fit that description..

There is no possable link from me to any of them using this theory.

i know twista within one degree he used to live in my complex b4 he blew up it was called concordia park, plus i basically know all rappers by two degrees i know my cuzin sam whos a radio peronality in chicago and he knows basically all da rappers, lil kim called him from jail n shyt and did an interview on air......yea biatch!

there are only 6 billion people in the world...

say on average everyone in the world knows 100 people...

that means each of the 100 people i know know 100 people each who know 100 people each who know 100 people each...

100x100x100x100x100x100= 1 trillion

now of course you have to account for overlaps and stuff but there is still a LOT of wiggle room...

the theory is definitely plausible...you probably could trace yourself back to most people...like high 90%'s...within 6 degrees of seperation...

the reason it seems impossible is because youd have to know ALL 100 people that your 100 friends each know and blah blah blah...its too many people for you to visualize...

but i could buy into the theory...

Nah, you cant base things on numbers to that much of an exact measure.

Not everyone knows approximatly 100 people. In less dense areas it could be feasable for a vast amount of people to know less than 10 people.. Then theres places like certain asian countrys where a young persons life is mostly comprised of being an abolute nobody in extremily over crowded classes. A lot of those people would see faces, but not know that many at all.. The world is a really diverse place and you cant use estimated statistics like that to prove a theory or give it any real credit like this.

But then there's people on the opposite side of that spectrum which accounts for the average, dumbass. rofl

I'm saying I doubt the average would be anywhere near 100. dumb ass..

You know soneone if you speak to them on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. fuck this degree of seperation shit.

*Does a shout out to scribe cause I dropped some rhymes in the same circle as him*

Lame.

While implying it's because some people don't know a lot of people, without implying that some people know enough people to make up for it...

If someone doesn't "know" 100 people, they are pathetic human souls who need to kill themselves to remove their lazy carcasses from the planet earth

It's possible I know thousands of people...at least that I've met them...

"know" doesn't necessarily mean..HANG OUT with...or TALK TO regularly...

meaning I met them...had some interaction

I "know" the County Executive where I live...But, I've never "hung" out with him...

dawg...100 people?...I think it's possible I know thousands of people. Especially since my job requires me to be around so many people all day every day

and I believe the "average" person knows well over 100 people.

Depends how loosly you use the term 'know'..

In my case its kind of different cause a lot more people know me when I dont know them.. So I find myself sometimes getting a bit arrogant when it comes to who I'd actually stand up and say "yeah I know them" and shit like that..

And while I'm on that; how well do you have to know someone to be able to say that you know them? I think Chris Rock put it best when he said "When you meet someone for the first time, your not meeting them..........Your meeting their 'representitive'". And that shit is so true. I mean, you cant just talk to someone for half an hour, or make small talk while your at work with someone and really say "I know that person"... Cause thats like playing one game of baseball when you were 15 then saying to someone now a days "I play baseball"..

What it implies can be seen in different ways.
Prolly I'm thinking too far into the technicalitys of this.. And I can see how its feasable. But I just dont view the world from such a statistical standpoint as that. So this theory to me just seems like pointless bullshit..

You can say all day that you know george bush from a 3 degree seperation. But when it all boils down to it. In reality you dont ACTUALLY know him.. And the person thats talked to him, probably doesent REALLY know him on any kind of personal level as opposed to a formal work related level.

This is why I think this theory is wrong.

at the end of the day it is just a 'theory', i dont buy into it, i mean communism was good in 'theory'..... lol

i kno Nos, who knos Ysdat, who knos K.S., who knos Spul, who knos Tizzle, whos knos Rev..

6 degrees of separation

I know my sister. She went to pre-school with ryan philippe. And who know tons of celebs so only 3-4 degrees!

good point

bad attempt.........

and its very plausible..... and nos, i think its impossible that someone only knows 10 people or less..... i meet more than 10 people a day wen i go out....

Communism isn't/wasn't a "theory"...that shit existed


it didn't work as well as it seems IN "THREORY"...but it wasn't a figment



1

word, and I kno you, so that means I kno them by 4 to 5 degrees!! :cool:

take into thought t.i.'s song you dont know me
