“theoretically” any sort of research could lead to eventual indirect military applications

No, it does not. Practically, many kinds of research lead to direct military applications.

It’s general research, not specifically research with direct military application.

A lot of AI research isn’t specifically done for military purposes, but there are plenty of ways the military can (and does) use it.

It’s not disadvantageous for the US if continuing the research means giving China a military advantage.

Social categorization is incredibly vague, so it’s still not clear to me what you feel should be abolished.

Why only on Lemmy, and what good examples are there?

What is gender abolition, the abolition of any distinctions between male and female?

You could try dropping the condescending tone. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean he is uneducated.

I would also recommend being polite and using the charity principle. You generally won’t change someone’s mind by berating him.
