Thing 1, Thing 2, Language One, and Language Two are having a pleasant conversation at Starbucks. Language One (looks like Nancy Pelosi): Category Theory is an important scientific milestone. Language Two (looks like Barack Obama): Yes, it is like learning words after A, B, C, ... Thing 1: I can say A B C backwards. Thing 2: I can count A in Shakespeare. Language One: Category theory is like going from Shakespeare to contemporary poetry. Thing 1 (looks like Jorie Graham): I disappear into appearance. Thing 2 (looks like John Boehner): Thing 1 is inhaling life into the disembodied contemporary discoure. Good clean fun!
