Since bivectors give you Lie algebras, you get gauge-group-type things, and you might think of spinors as fermions, and think of the vector space as spacetime, and even try to put such things together to form Lagrangians … and see where Einstein-type faith might lead.

One way to see this is that a supersymmetric extension of Yang-Mills theory must have two component spinors, valued in one of these algebras.
-
Another way to see this is that the supersymmetry charge is fermionic and this is generated by two component spinors that transform under a representation of SL (2, A).
-
This point of view puts connections, spinors and the Dirac operator in central roles in modern geometry, and I happen to think it is a very deep and amazing fact that the same constructs are among the fundamental constructs of the standard model.

The rotational symmetry of a theory including spinors heavily depends on the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.
