Also, if you don’t care about your measure, than why is the Big Universe even necessary? You already know you have a measure of at least how long you’ve been alive. You can’t cease to have ever existed.
The main thrust of this post is that assumptions sufficient to support cryonics are also sufficient to survive without cryonics.
The “why do you care if you continue to exist?” question is just part of the background assumption—people sign up for cryonics because they care about continuing to exist. All I’m saying is that if you believe that, you can get the same results by not signing up for cryonics, maybe.
