I have asked two questions that are identical in their form (Science says A is the best way to act, yet people act B. Why?), one of them was accepted and responded to with no special attention while the other was locked and deleted.

An illustrative sentence in the chat *Choosing a useful topic is essential - why do people have children is really not a useful question. We have them in order to survive as a species. Procreation is what life is, essentially*. According to this Alsop it might not be a useful question but that is a very subjective stance and therefore must not be the ground for deleting my question.

My original question contains a lot of links to, what seems to be, reliable scientific sources. As I wrote in the chat, if I ask "Why did the Roman empire fall?" there exists a lot of opinions about what would be the correct answer. However, dismissing or rejecting such a questions because it might provoke a discussion wouldn't make sense (and there are several questions like that on SE with a lot of upvotes, answers and comments).

Alsop et al clearly dislike this question for subjective reasons and use their moderating powers to block people from reading and answering it. I have asked him to escalate it but he refuses, which I think says a lot. I have also asked him to, inspired by Popper, define a threshold for what it would take for this question to be "interesting", again he refuses.
