In anthropology, we often refer to this impetus as "the Tyranny of Taxonomy." By virtue of forcing various phenomena into categories that can be quantified, you create the illusion that such categories are "real." Rather than methods through which to think about similarities and differences.

I wrote about Jeff Bezos' outdated "view from nowhere" approach to journalism and why it doesn't work for the press in 2024 — if it ever did at all www.platformer.news/jeff-bezos-w...
This is why, as a student of Rosen’s work, I send Platformer’s ethics policy to everyone who subscribes, as well as a longer document that lays out my worldview. Readers often send me critical responses to newsletters, but they rarely accuse me of “bias” the way so many mainstream press outlets continue to be accused of. A key reason, I believe, is that I try to tell you my biases upfront. It’s impossible to cover a beat for over a decade and not have drawn conclusions about it; to pretend otherwise is not credible. Bezos’s insistence that the Post not publish an endorsement is a way of pretending its editorial writers have not drawn conclusions, even when everyone knows that they have. That’s trust-destroying, not trust-building.

Ultimately, the View from Nowhere reflects a desire to stay above it all. But in the modern media — in the places where it remains Day 1 — everyone is getting their hands dirty. I’ll give you three examples.
