That is the difference between packing an extra set of bell bottoms into your back pack and setting off to the Summer of Love and holding down a job that keeps your loved ones eating.
A private jet might seem pragmatic if you are elite with resources out the yin-yang, but feel quite different to the bulk of us.

If you don’t account for things like this, if you lump people together arbitrarily, the result could look like a mess. Heck, even if you are aware of them, it is still a mess.
Groups in a coherent system should share similar ways of looking at things, and similar goals. If you lump together generations or ages or archetypes that do not make sense, you get confused.
The "work" anyone is doing HERE - in this particular forum of interaction - is 100% about "lumping together" and "generalizing".
Archetypes are not about individuals or exceptions. The study of archetypes is about WHAT IS IT AS A WHOLE. Every single person who exists is different. Some Prophet persons are more like Hero or opposite.
Generalization is what this is about. 100%
