it feels like the chances of some glorious future existing where you can revive people stored in big ice tank thingies but not in regular graves is low. sure the payoff is big, but i consider cryonics to not really affect my potential revivability, so it’s not worth the substantial negative utility of paying for it (not to mention the negative utility of being seen as weird)
