It makes it sound like anyone who isnt starting something new or related to those who do is just sitting around waiting for their turn.  But what about the specialists who get really good at one thing? The researchers working hard to make discoveries? The creative artists? Surely they are not just spinning around the important Type 1 and Type 2 people according to this view.  This whole line of thinking comes off to me as narrow-minded and full of itself.  I get the instinct to categorize people into neat little boxes, but real life is usually much messier than that.
