Why are they deleted? How is this not a pertinent topic for the board? To all appearances, some Janitor has taken to arbitrarily excluding topics he doesn't like from being discussed.
>>
Other speculative technology threads are allowed. I see threads about interstellar travel, FTL propulsion, fusion energy, artificial general intelligence and other stuff.

"Transhumanism" is an infantile fantasy circle jerk. In these threads no science is discussed. Edgy drivel along the lines of "we all gonna be robots", "what if robots have emotions?" or "will the future bring us fascism?" are not /sci/ topics. You have /b/, /pol/, /r9k/ for such nonsense. I won't even start going into detail regarding the weird furry/pony transformation ideas being discussed under the label of "transhumanism".

I am well aware that there are scientific advances towards the so called "human enhancement". If you want to discuss these, then post actual scientific results of biomedical engineering etc. Do not mistake highschoolers' fantasies for science. To avoid confusion, I'd suggest to completely avoid the term "transhumanism" when you want to discuss scientific topics. Label them by the names of the fields of research instead.

Btw I found the thread OP is referring to. It started with nothing but "transhumanism general" and was a circle jerk about south korean politics. No science or math content in there.

The ethical implications of future advances in science are an aspect of science that should be discussed on the, you guessed it, SCIENCE BOARD. Pull the fucking dragon dildo out of your ass.

The ethical implications of hypothetical fantasies are not topics of science or math. It's pure opinion nonsense with no objective basis. I'm gonna repeat it once again for you: The appropriate boards are /b/, /pol/ and /r9k/.
