About this listen

In this episode of the future hit podcast, Eric and Ben muse on the various ways humans categorize the world. They also explore how these socially constructed categories affect people and institutions. Why have categories at all? Who gets to make the categories? Is it even possible to cut nature cleanly "at the joints?" When does night become day and day become night? How would your reported health history be different if you were born in a different time or place? What is the role of money, access, and influence in influencing how/when/if you get categorized. When does orange become yellow and dark orange become light orange?
