You only need to meet a semi famous person to be connected to almost anyone in the world in six steps

It’s not really a paradox, that’s a inaccurate example of how people connect. For example I have 6 clusters of friends; my family in South Carolina, my coworkers, my super smash brothers group, my karaoke group, my political group & my bar crawl group. Let’s say each group has 20 people in it and in this scenario I have only witnessed 5 people total who overlap so that is 110 people who I only know from one group or another. I did the math and at layer 5 I have double earths population, that’s not even counting people with insanely large friend groups and/or famous people who know hundreds of people who are known by thousands of people

In reality everyone is connected by people with unusually large (either in numbers or in terms of distance) connections. Veritasium would probably be connected to their viewers thru academic connections like their professor being interviewed or knowing someone who has
