In your own words: Category A: those who are still controlled by instincts programmed genetically from aeons (1) ago, Examples of this are tribalism, xenophobia, last event emphasis, alpha/beta pack behaviour, and over-breeding strategies. Category B: The other branch will consist of man/machine hybrids which value intellect and reason as highly as emotion and physical prowess. Looks pretty binary to me. Jocks & Nerds pretty much covers it. Morons & Intellectually, if you prefer. Epsilons & Alphas, as Huxley might have said. So what are you, A or B?
