Mathematicians just collectively screamed! This meme pokes fun at the arcane debate between category theory and set theory as mathematical foundations. Category theory—with its abstract morphisms and functors—remains a niche field while set theory forms the backbone of math education. The joke suggests our technological progress has been stunted by this educational choice, implying that if we'd built math education on category theory's elegant abstractions instead, we'd have flying cars and futuristic cities by now. Meanwhile, most people are still trying to remember what a bijection is.
