I agree that this argument depends a lot on how you look at the idea of “evidence”. But it’s not just in the court-room evidence-set that the cryonics argument wouldn’t pass.
Yes, that’s very true. You persuasively argue that there is little scientific evidence that current cryonics will make revival possible.
But you are still conflating Bayesian evidence with scientific evidence. I wonder if you could provide a critique that says we shouldn’t be using Bayesian evidence to make decisions (or at least decisions about cryonics), but rather scientific evidence. The consensus around here is that Bayesian evidence is much more effective on an individual level, even though with current humans science is still very much necessary for overall progress in knowledge.
