How to do Intersection Theory?

The purpose of this talk is to ask a single question: what is the correct definition of intersection theory on varieties? Join me, as we travel through space and time from the ancient origins of enumerative geometry, through Fulton-MacPherson's work on putting intersection products on a rigorous footing, to the ever-nascent area of derived algebraic geometry.
