How is it different from using ZF as a meta-theory to study ZF(C)? Is there anything special about category theory vis-à-vis ZF as a meta-theory? You're not arguing about ontology or the nature of truth, because you've picked category theory as your ontology just like you could pick ZF or ZFC.

It will happen sooner or later just like it happened to their banking laws. There is no reason for the global trend of deprivatization (in all senses) to reverse.

I agree that Marx missed to a large degree the ability of the system to adapt; and it shows both in his philosophical and economics writings.

It’s a bit ironic that in 1883, the year Marx died, Otto von Bismarck initiated a series of reforms in an effort to appease the working class. The reforms that were disparagingly called Staatssozialismus (State Socialism) by his liberal opponents.

I doubt Marx would call modern governments utopia, but the centralisation of banking, state schooling and better working conditions were indeed a part of the demands in his manifesto.

What are the odds this “io” thingy will be a new ChatGPT and not a new Loopt or Worldcoin?

I genuinely don’t understand how the analogy about naval vessels is a fair simplification of the argument that Chomsky’s research programme is, heuristically, a dead-end and should be abandoned. What is A,B,Y,Z?

It’s not like it’s an outrageous position. Chomsky’s tradition is quite controversial and is outside of mainstream nowadays. And connectionism is a valid scientific approach.
