Yes, the printing press was invented in 1440 and gave us printed words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, books and libraries. And libraries were categorised. And so we started to think in terms of categories. Why, we even categorised ourselves into personality types.
However the Random Access Memory (RAM) became available in 1970 and so made categories redundant.
But here we categorise ourselves using MBTI while we actually relate to one another with Random Access Memory.
What will happen when we start thinking in terms of Random Access Memory?
Are you seriously trying to say there was no categorization before the printing press? Humans have always categorized. This is a plant that I don't eat, this is a plant that I do eat, this is an animal that I attack, this is an animal I don't attack, this is a human I attack, this is a human I support, this is a human towards whom I have no strong feelings, etc.
Categorization is something that is pretty basic in the human mind, as well as other animals.
