only two kinds of people

If you want to examine any subject it is a good method to divide it in two. Say we want to examine ourselves, and everyone else. It is difficult to examine one selves, but it can be done. Start by dividing people in two. All individuals need to be part of a group to survive and all groups need individuals to survive. So we might say then that there are two kinds of people. Individuals thinking as an individual in the group, and individuals who think as individuals for the group. As if in algebra, we work back to the simple and then back out again to the complex so we then reduce our paradigm as much as we can. This leaves us with a individual in a group and a group in an individual or, the individual and the group individual. We have to have a premise to start. If you can agree with this so far, you should be able to see where this is going. Once we start out with a premise it usually determines where one is going to end up. So we have to make sure our premise will not cave in us down the road. Next we have to define the terms of our premise. We've partially done this already but now we do it in detail to reduce it to the simple. All ideas, even simple ones, must revert to the simple before proceeding to the complex. So the next question is, who is an individual and what is a group? Perhaps we should let a day settle all this up to this point to reassure ourselves it is valid.
