This is an excellent comment, and it is extremely embarrassing for me that in a post on the plausible ‘live forever’ strategy space I missed three extremely plausible strategies for living forever, all of which are approximately complementary to cryonics (unless they’re successful, in which case; why would you bother). I’d like to take this as evidence that many eyes on the ‘live forever’ problem genuinely does result in utility increase, but I think it is a more plausible explanation that I’m not very good at visualising the strategy space!
