But what is the general application of category theory, outside computer science.. and even there the average programmer who hasn't some type theory experience will stare at you with huge eyes when you mention it..
I love the wikipedia intro: Calculus is the mathematical study of continous change, the same way geometry is the study of shape and algebra... that's it perfectly. And the most basic application is in everyone's life and also one of the basic physics thing: The relationship between location, speed and acceleration. I find this very essential, vs category theory at least..
