15 April

Are you a lumper or a splitter? Do you prefer the big picture - laws and big ideas - or details? A hedgehog (lumper) or a fox (splitter)? I’m neither, because to me the lumps are only patterns created by the splits. It’s the same stuff, just acting differently. For example, a lumper might say ‘all women are more nurturing and are scared of spiders’. A splitter might say ‘you’re generalising, not all women are the same.’ I would say not all women are the same, but generally they play more nurturing roles, and are more scared of spiders.
