NPR’s newest pilot program, Invisibilia is about the unseen forces that control human behavior — things like ideas, beliefs, assumptions, and thoughts. This week, “The Power of Categories” examines how categories define us — how, if given a chance, humans will jump into one category or another. We need them. We want them. We look at what categories provide for us, we hear the story of a person caught between gender categories in a way that will surprise you, and we visit the first retirement community in the country to be based around one ethnic group.
