Not signing up for cryonics—what does that say? That you’ve lost hope in the future. That you’ve lost your will to live. That you’ve stopped believing that human life, and your own life, is something of value.
Um… there are lots of other reasons why someone might not sign up for cryonics. For example, my reason. And when I explained my reason to you (Eliezer) in person, you didn’t seem to have any strong rebuttal to it, though you did give a personal reason (that didn’t reply to me) for why you are signed up for cryonics.
Also, as an aside, of the 10-ish people I’ve spoken to about cryonics for more than 5 minutes, 2 of them turned out to have the same reason as I did for not signing up. (They were skeptics/atheists and accepted that cryonics might be feasible in the future, just not confidently-enough desirable.)
