Has it occurred to you that you might be overthinking this a bit? :p Interesting perspective though, I'm not sure if I entirely understand it. What about the other four functions? If everyone is XXXX with different emphasis, they must be aware of all 8 functions, no?
Just because you do not need something at this point in time does not mean it didn't play an essential part in shaping civilization. If you are an atheist right now it's only because you have found other means to satiate your God complex, not because you have found the ultimate answer to all...
Oh yeah.

This?
I'd known it before but I didn't actually understand it lol. It looked too complicated at that time (Ti superego?) so I skimmed it. I only learned it in detail now. XD
Actually, I didn't know. >:[ I didn't look into the dichotomies much before, it seemed like work. But I'm happy to know that other people have also noticed this, so that's awesome/affirming.
Remember how we were discussing how N+F are fuzzy and holistic and S+T are concrete and linear? I discovered, Socionics has a dichotomy for this. :O Internal/External.
Heh.
Well, I know Static/Dynamic, I understand Positivist/Negativist as types having a +/- IE as their base function, and Evolution/Involution is something I'm not entirely sure of, but roughly understand the picture. Going by the descriptions alone, I'm very horribly Holographical-Panaromic...
