I don’t know if there’s any way of telling what the real probability of revival is. Do you know of a good source on this?

understand this from the perspective of advocates and why we are passionately in favor of it
It’s true that I don’t know why you’re passionately in favor of it. I know that Eliezer is passionately in favor because he lost his brother. That makes sense to me. Considering my concerns about waking up as a horror, and the fact that I don’t have any family members that are signed up for cryo who will miss a chance at interacting with me in the future if I don’t sign up, that simply doesn’t apply in my case.

As to the creepiness of freezing people
It’s not creepy to me anymore. It was depicted as creepy in the cartoon, though—there were all these rows of really ugly alien looking bodies and some ominous music was playing and the children were theorizing about what they were and they realized they were dead.
Being frozen isn’t any creepier than being buried. My body has to go somewhere after it dies. Actually, I think this is less creepy—it’s a lot cleaner. No worms or anything.
mad science
I’m probably unusually accepting here. I have had a lot of fun doing things like touring a particle accelerator and hanging out with “mad scientists” in labs. I love it.
I don’t know how I got this way but I’m thinking it has to do with realizing that the “mad scientists” come up with awesome stuff sometimes.
Yes, he said life insurance. Typo, sorry.
