    “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.

    Okay, thanks for explaining.

    If I understand correctly, you're saying that a person's sex should only be referenced when it is relevant, which is only in a narrow set of situations. Any reference in speech to a person should not invoke his sex.

    No need to call anybody a quack. I'm just trying to understand your controversial opinion.

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

    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.
