8 ways lists enrich our lives

This is a poorly conceived "meta analysis" of "list 'culture'" on the "internet" "cir"ca 2014/2015.  Navigate the following list-about-how-awesome-lists-are at your own peril.

1. Lists give us a reason to use ordinal numbers in a way that disrespects rank because it's rendered meaningless.
2. The fine folks at buzzfeed keep their jobs, and unemployment numbers stay down.
3. We validate ourselves and determine what kind of people we are based on another person's conception of group characteristics, despite a total lack of expertise in the list maker.
4. Lists allow us to make "No true Scotsman" judgments of others.
5. We can learn exciting new things about ourselves, such as which Disney Princess best represents the condition of our liver/kidneys/spleen.
6. Lists free us from reading long prose by breaking text up into bitesized portions, contributing to our soundbyte-ridden-culture-of-noise that promotes smaller attention spans.
7. We are able to avoid human contact in public places and transit by staying glued to our scintillating phones, pretending to be in conversation or communication, though conveniently engaging ourselves in short bursts via list format.
8. Because I love them.

In conclusion, lists are bae and I need them to navigate the confusing place that the 21 century is becoming, and the way the world has been since 1989.
