Canadian politicians are talking about setting up a Canadian DARPA. Tying precious research dollars to military applications is not an efficient way to innovate and will lead to obscenities like the self-healing minefield. Encourage start-ups, not the military industrial complex.

I am sad to hear such a weak argument from a person that I respect so much. It's the parable of the broken window. Internet would exist without DARPA!
Not just the Internet, but all of Silicon Valley, where you work, would hardly exist without military-funded research and procurement. Read some history.

I didn't disagree with the tech coming out of military funding. I disagreed with the argument that these things would not exist if we didn't fund the military so heavily, which in turn funded some useful technology with some of its funding.

The question we're debating is whether an agency like DARPA is a good thing. And the answer is overwhelmingly yes. (Among other things, because otherwise the money would just have gone to more planes and tanks.)

I feel we’ve progressively come a long way in reducing the percentage of tax money going into killing other people. Let’s hope it decreases more and more as we appreciate unity over separation more.
