Great post Epiphany. I’d like to volunteer myself as another guinea pig, but with one caveat. Rather than having this experiment end with just two people’s opinions being changed, I’d like to create an argument map for the best arguments on cryonics so that more people can be persuaded by the best arguments that we can aggregate into an argument map.
There are a lot of argument mapping tools out there, but my favorite one isn’t actually intended to be used as an argument map. I created a rough sketch of an argument map on cryonics.
I am planning to put a list of my objections with links and whether they’re resolved into the OP. So there will be some organization to it.
I’m not sure that LW wants more guinea pigs, some feel that this is a waste of time—you can tell by the karma on my thread that this isn’t really popular. Thanks for the compliment, though.
Also, I am not expecting to be convinced. I’m actually leaning toward “no” right now, as surprising as I bet some think that is. I’ll explain that when I make my next run of responding to comments again.
You know, I think we should argument map the whole friggin site. Except that I WOULD NOT want to see that being put onto someone else’s software. They’ll have control of the data. I’d prefer to see it in open source software, editable by the world, and copyright free so anyone can make it backup without a problem.
