This is a very complicated and hard (for me) to internalize setup, meaning it doesn’t evoke new framings, and doesn’t serve any purpose (again, for me) as a thought experiment. That it’s stated with multiple levels of if and iff makes it harder, but I don’t have any suggestions (except maybe a flowchart or decision matrix) to improve.
It also doesn’t help that it mixes dollars and life, asking for a dollar value against the possibility (even if infinitesimal) of death. Nor that it supposes an omniscient god, which if I had sufficient evidence to believe in the first place SERIOUSLY changes my expectations and probabilities.
And my underlying probability IS infinitesimal that I will die in a way that current cryopreservation systems (tech, legal, and social) will actually lead to my future resurrection.
