There are two kinds of people in the world

Let's start with getting the logically degenerate self reference version out of the way.

"There are two kinds of people in the world;
those that believe there are two kinds of people in the world,
and those that don't".

Here's my favorite...

"There are two kinds of people in the world,
those that believe we are humans having a spiritual experience,
and those that believe we are spirits having a human experience."

My favourite is the classic:

"There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from an incomplete data set..."

Yes, basically two, and it comes down to whether your empathy switch default setting is on or off.

More interesting is:

"As a mystical concept, the number 36 is even more intriguing. It is said that at all times there are 36 special people in the world, and that were it not for them, all of them, if even one of them was missing, the world would come to an end. The two Hebrew letters for 36 are the lamed, which is 30, and the vav, which is 6. Therefore, these 36 are referred to as the Lamed-Vav Tzadikim. This widely-held belief, this most unusual Jewish concept is based on a Talmudic statement to the effect that in every generation 36 righteous "greet the Shechinah," the Divine Presence (Tractate Sanhedrin 97b; Tractate Sukkah 45b)."

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world: People named Joe and people not named Joe.

love this topic — always fun to see how people divide the world into types! Personally, I think it’s more like a big mix than just two camps. I was just reading some blair reviews the other day about people arguing over which kind of guitarist they are — total perfectionists vs. total feel players. Guess it applies here too. Either way, it’s the contrast that keeps things interesting.

My fave is...

"There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who do not"

I'm no mathematics geek nor am I a statistical analyst, but i don't think 99+% of the world's population "get" that quote or fact.
