I love this post. Even though “Science” is an oversimplification of real science, the specific statements attacked aren’t strawmen.
For cryonics patients to eventually be revived, the future just has to be very rich (like Vladimir says) and contain a few altruists. Sounds like a good bet. Calling trying not to die “the height of egotism” (because you ought to die to be replaced by “better… brain patterns”?) is ridiculous.
