Damn, that saved me a ton of work actually reading into what exactly it is and does. :D Thanks!
It kind of reminds me of the space problem where if we try sending something today at current top speeds to other planets, the current top speeds are so shitty that waiting for better tech is more worth it as possible future speeds may just pass the rocket that was sent 20 years ago in no time.
So you're saying the later we go cryo the better as the methods of doing that may have improved so they'll damage less of you? But that may be irrelevant if at some point in the future they can repair all the damage even from the oldest ways? It's kind of an insane thing altogether, if all that becomes easy to do and it works flawlessly, we've basically found a way to skip time.
There should be a "cheap version" for cryo where they just have to take care of your brain, by the time you're awake you will just go ahead and jump into a robo suite. Hopefully your crypto has risen enough in value to let you afford it, or that you remember where you left your private keys.
Well, being preserved means effectively dying by all definitions except information-theoretic. So I would say it is best to wait as long as you can anyway. :D
Also, it is funny that you mention the "cheap version." What you are talking about exists. The head is disembodied and preserved on its own, and it is cheaper. Also, I see what you did there, you might say I was a step or to ahead of you ^_^
You are creating a bit of a game theory problem with your "skip time" idea, though. If everyone wants to be frozen waiting for a better world, who is gonna stick around and build it while we are gone, and deal with all the suck? Those who cannot afford elective preservation? Oh, but acid, what if they decide not to wake anyone up? :P
Rofl, that went way too deep quick.
That'd be a fun twist though: "hey how about we don't wake up those rich assholes?" while everyone else in a world that has legalized weed is like "ye man that sounds like a lot of work, let's leave it for the next generation, lol".
lol... not waking up the cryopreserved rich people sounds a bit like forking them out xD
:D irl fork
