Jordan, thank you for a very important thread. I do have a question about your Algorithms and Theory comments. I absolutely understand the point about the context of their origin. I think what sometimes gets blurred is whether that turns out to be *incidental*...
or somehow affects the actual *content*. For example, is a particular algorithm, proof technique, or concept inherently "militaristic"? I sometimes hear people implying the latter, but have not come across a convincing case (I don't know that any such case ever is offered).

By the way, I'm not a theorist (at all), so have no emotional commitment to defending theoretical approaches in CS. I simply would like to understand the criticisms that are floating around at their best.

Thank you so much for you kind words! I am absolutely not the best person to make this argument, but to your point about whether the theory would change Lenore Blum has been talking about alternative theoretical models of computation recently
