Is there a metamathematical $V$?
Let me offer a different perspective, informed by my recent conversion from ZFC to ETCSR, i.e. Lawvere's elementary theory of the category of sets (with replacement). Recall that the two theories are …

Great question — for some reason this tight relation between extremally disconnected profinite sets and forcing had elapsed me!
I've just been trying to read a bit about it. From what I understand, th …
