Continuing with Badiou, which for its size is pleasantly brisk. He has a very nice take that the existence of a lesser evil reveals not which evil to support, but the inherent contradiction within the evil that must be assaulted in the construction of a good work. Apply as you will.

does he know about infinite waste products? they dont behave as well under colimits

Taking this very seriously — it is super important to Badiou that the waste product is always a finite (which is really more like definable or bounded) thing. Anything infinite (unbounded) is for him the trace of an Idea, and therefore not waste. Not sure where he is on colimits other than union.

I think Badiou would probably refer you to Mao on this one!
