   @mattly I remember watching a video a few decades ago that showed an experiment in a local jail where they held male prisoners in two different cells, one painted baby-boy blue, the other painted baby-girl pink. There was a correlation of calmer prisoners in the pink cell, more anxious in the blue cell. (Why do all these psychology experiments sound so janky?)

     @mattly One of the things I am delighted to realize is that categorization is obviously an internal feature of our brain we repurpose a lot, and it appears to be very fundamental to our biology and not an obscure or unique function. That obvious observation has wild implications.
