A marvelous way to just convince people to give you money.
The best way to convince people to give you money is to offer them something of exceptionally high value.
It’s perverse logic to imply that a service has lower value because people are willing to pay for the service.
Tragically, the extremely small number of people who have signed up for cryonics proves it’s not a “marvelous way” to “convince people to give you money.”
I think the fixed version of the statement is that the persuasiveness-to-actual-value ratio is high, so even if persuasiveness is low, that just translates to the actual value being lower still.
