10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't

My friend Paul has a fabulous sense of humor, he's a talented developer and thoughtful friend. He recently helped me while developing a curriculum called "First Steps" in answering the questions about origins, morality, meaning, and destiny. This idea of two types of people from a binary perspective is from him.
So what would a post of mine be without referencing the Bible? This reminds of the Ten Commandments being in two categories.
1) our relationship with God (1-4), 2) our relationships with People (5-10)

  1. I am the Lord, your God.
  2. Thou shall bring no false idols before me.
  3. Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
  4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
  5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
  6. Thou shall not kill/murder†.
  7. Thou shall not commit adultery.
  8. Thou shall not steal††.
  9. Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  10. Thou shall not covet‡ your neighbor's wife (or anything that belongs to your neighbor).
Jesus affirms this notion of two commandments from 10, in Matthew 22:38-40 

Matthew 7:12
In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets.

Galatians 5:14
The entire Law is fulfilled in a single decree: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

The Fulfillment of the Law in Matthew 5:16-18
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
