Ugh. Does discussing ontological repercussions of anything ever brought a practical result?

Especially with such lack of logical rigor as shown when even otherwise decent scientists are talking about consciousness...

Mathematics has much more consistent definitions of categories and similar concepts with real measurable results and applications.

You didn't actually read the linked essay, did you? Because that's pretty much what it says.

Yes, albeit it indulges ontology with a few pages of text. Meandering until it gets to some of its points.
