When a ranter with a bullhorn says there are two kinds of
people, I hide the silver and move away. But it is interesting to sort people you know
about into groups and choose among them.
When I married, it suddenly hit me: There are two kinds of people, those married
and the rest. The singles have so
much time for themselves. (Picture shows me with two sacks of flour learning to sympathize with my pregnant wife). Scarcely a year later, another insight hit me: There are two kinds of people, those with
children and the rest. The “withouts”
have so much time for themselves.
If there are thirty people in the room, there are thirty
kinds of people, but when someone
dangles “there are two kinds of people”, I always turn with curiosity. Will it be left (moonbat) and right (wingnut), authoritarian and libertarian, or combinations
of the above? Introvert-extrovert or
left-brain/right-brain? The twelve birth signs of the zodiac based on the month or the twelve birth signs of the Chinese calendar based on the
year? Or even better, an annotated
printout of my 25,000 genes? Google
image results for Personality Types.
The number of pixels in a photo define the information in
it.
How little do you need to make a useful choice?
Can you get the idea of a ball across with a single Lego
block?
