Q

I think the human race, in our desperation to understand ourselves, instead corner our selves into narrow labels.

We want so much to define our personalities (what myers-briggs are you? what’s your horoscope? are you an introvert or extrovert? are you artistic or logical?) that we forget how various things are.

There are theories we can use as frameworks to understand aspects of ourselves, but it’s dangerous to try and fit yourself into any one type.

In doing so we undo our complexity and allow arbitrary descriptions tell us what we should do and what we are capable of, and the last thing we need are unnecessarily brakes on achieving our full capacity.
