‘Personality reconstruction’ is both less satisfying and more difficult to automate. I think most people who buy into cryonics would prefer to wake up remembering the things they never said in public, rather than having a patched-together doppelganger wear their clothes in the 31st century equivalent of Colonial Williamsburg.
Well, if reliably remembering the things I never said in public were an option, I’d sort of like that ability now rather than waiting until I die for some entity who may or may not deserve the label “me” to have it. In the meantime, I’ll go on reconstructing semifictional accounts of what might have happened based on the information I currently have handy, just like most people do.
