People, and their lives, are extremely high dimensionality objects, and most of those dimensions are essentially continuous. However, in terms of cognition, we are all quite close to one another along any given dimension. If we weren't, you'd really notice, like someone on the far end of "The Spectrum". However, small deltas in a high dimensionality space add up to a large vector length. Still, these are never so important as context: Where you grew up, whether you fell in love with someone early, whether you had access to the best schools for your target, etc. are much more important factors than the combinations of people's intrinsic features.
