Q : Why is everyone linking together cryonicism, life-extensionism, trans-humanism, and the singularity ?
In addition to Caledonian’s irritability, I would add :
A : Because the two main posters here seem to subscribe to the extreme desirability of all three, (counting trans-humanism and the singularity for one item translating as Self-Improving AI), in a nexus centred on the Singularity Institute.
personal take :
a) Cryonics : couldn’t care less
b) Radical life extension : playing with fire
c) Self-improving AI : burning the house down.
