I had more ideas for Less Wrong posts, including an argument that donating to charity is more beneficial than paying for cryonics, but that assumes that the reader is altruistic. Since most people on Less Wrong are apparently not altruists, should I go ahead and post “For altruists, AMF > cryonics” here, or should I keep altruism-assuming arguments for some community more typically altruistic, like Felicifia?

I’m not actually sure that’s true. Though those of us who are were probably completely unimpressed with this article, as we’ve already been familiar with Givewell (for example) for years.

Make the posts, just abstract the language up one level, as you suggest.
I’d like to see it.
