Vassar’s second post makes me see another good reason to focus on cryonics vs. other luxury goods. Even if cryonics has a higher expected return, it’s so deferred, abstract, and uncertain that the willpower cost of not purchasing cryonics is very low compared to other luxuries.
BTW, the first comment on that article is depressing: “I feel sorry for society in the future!”
