We've all heard of the Knights Who Say Nee, the hilarious Monty Python characters that demand shrubberies and can't handle any other word than "nee". But what you may not know is that they are actually experts in the niche world of endofunctors.
We sat down with their leader, who insisted we refer to him as "We are the knights who say Ǝ", to learn more about this unexpected passion. "Well, you see," he began, "we were on a quest for the perfect shrubbery when we stumbled upon the fascinating world of category theory."
Category theory, for those not in the know, is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of structures and relationships between objects. Endofunctors, then, are a type of functor that map from a category to itself.
"It's endlessly fascinating," said We are the knights who say Ǝ. "The way that endofunctors can transform and manipulate categories opens up a whole new world of possibilities."
When we asked how they went from demanding shrubberies to studying category theory, We are the knights who say Ǝ laughed. "Well, it was a bit of a roundabout journey. We had always been interested in finding the perfect shrubbery, you see, and we realized that mathematics could help us in our quest."
As it turns out, their expertise in endofunctors has led to some unexpected career opportunities. "We've been consulting on some pretty advanced projects," said We are the knights who say Ǝ. "We can't say too much, but let's just say that our knowledge of endofunctors has proven invaluable."
And as for their continued love of shrubberies? "Oh, we still demand those," he assured us. "But now we demand them with a whole new level of mathematical understanding."
It just goes to show that you never know where your passions may lead you. Perhaps the next time you're on a quest for the perfect anything, it's worth looking into the fascinating world of category theory and endofunctors. Who knows where it may lead you?
