You probably know the typical lists, meant to simplify your life: "10 things you can do now if you want cold sore lips", "11 things you need for cold sore lips", "25 fast foods you can turn into batters and drinks"
Is that really 46 things? What is needed is ISO categorization of things, which can
be applied to all thing math and lists, thereby reducing the total number of things you have to do, have, or know.

Is one of the things a list of clickbait items you should
never click on? |

I'm all for differentiating people, exploring them backside and front, but as Plato pointed out about ideal objects, how many different shoes before Immelda Marcos becomes a stereotype? |

In keeping with the thorough differentiation of people [2 fries], we're onto you. |

"Noun. thingy (plural thingies) A thing (used in a vague way to refer to something whose name one cannot recall)." |

As a process, classification is pretty helpful a lot of the time - you just need to be aware of when and where you're applying it, and act accordingly. |
|
| |
It also depends on whether your classification scheme is taxonomic, polymorphic, or, if you're talking about the real world and not some abstraction, most likely a bit of both. |
|
| |
Few people I suppose make this distinction, and work in a black-and-white world of taxonomic classification where something of class x can only operate in stereotypically x-ish ways, compared to things of class y, and so on. |
|

This path of mistaking convention for reality saves a great deal of time, allowing people to watch (and believe) a great deal more TV than would otherwise be humanly possible. |
