The amount I enjoy discussions seems to anticorrelate with the number of participants. While I previously thought this was about each person having more space and direction power, I now think that’s it’s mostly a selection effect. This means that perhaps splitting up large groups is less useful than I thought.
Inside jokes also get better when less people know about them. The primary question is, does this extend down to one person? Or zero? I definitely tend to randomly laugh for jokes nobody present understands.
