`Iconoclastic', Categorical Quantum Gravity

This is a two-part, 2-in-1' paper. In Part I, the introductory talk at Glafka–2004: Iconoclastic Approaches to Quantum Gravity’ international theoretical physics conference is presented in paper form (without references). In Part II, the more technical talk, originally titled ``Abstract Differential Geometric Excursion to Classical and Quantum Gravity’', is presented in paper form (with citations). The two parts are closely entwined, as Part I makes general motivating remarks for Part II.
