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

I would also add that even without debating the fundamental underpinnings like Dr. Blum has mentioned, another reason to histroicize theory is the boundaries of what we know and what we don't in this domain have been so closely shaped by military priories
