Male soccer and Female soccer should not be two separate events
In theory, it's a fairly arbitrary separation, comparable to the organizers creating separate tournaments for French-speaking, English-speaking, Portuguese-speaking (etc) athletes.

Male soccer and Female soccer should not be two separate events
Male professional players have longer legs & are better at endurance running than female players. A mixed system would create a male-dominated pro league and a mixed secondary league. This would be no better than the present, and would cast the female players in an unnecessarily bad light.

Male soccer and Female soccer should not be two separate events
A better option would be to separate players by height class, analogous to weight class in other sports. This would move short male players into the previously-female league & tall female players into the previously-male league. It's more rational and less restrictive than the gendered version.

We should stop working on Artificial Intelligence
Nonhumans are not superior to humans on the spectrum of 'similarity to humans'. Humans care about their kin, i.e. about beings similar to themselves, so almost everyone wants future Earth to be populated by beings comparable to current humans.

We should stop working on Artificial Intelligence
Because it's incentivized. Software with 'intelligent' capabilities is valuable to many people. Creating intelligent software is a task someone will always be willing to pay for.

We should stop working on Artificial Intelligence
More generally, AI systems that have slightly different goals than those of the human species start to become a problem if they rival or eclipse humans in power.
