Doesn’t this tribe celebrate weirdness? We Think Like a Quantum Reality, allocate Weirdness Points, freeze our brains, give large sums of money to strangers, and drink our food. Er, some of us do some of these things. Being ‘normal’ is probably less conducive to self-esteem than being weird ’round here.
Also, seems like the trick still works if you identify as a pleglish American.
The idea of allocating Weirdness points, is to be very careful about not displaying too much weirdness. It’s the opposite of celebrating it.
If you read what EY writes about cryonics there’s no a suggestion that signing up for cryonics is weird. It’s rather that it’s the rational thing that every clearthinking human does.
