Cats and Politics
Can category theory or at least some of the lessons it teaches be used to understand politics?
Mr. Baez has made the analogy between left-right adjoints and liberal-conservative. Could certain issues in politics be seen as giving an approximation to an inverse, and the political divide comes from the two created opposing adjoints?
For instance, suggesting that a social issue be solved at an individual basis versus being solved at a community level feels very adjointy.
I'm curious what other people have to think.
