Kyle: Not that much money in cryonics. Horrifically little I’d say, even though I don’t think it’s the best current solution to rational fear of death. I think that life extension research, calorie restriction, re-perfusion research, and simply wearing biomonitors and developing better ones probably offer risk-reward payoffs exceeding cryonics, but all are grossly underfunded. Above all, FAI development is a vastly more efficient lever than cryonics, but not one that is terribly easily invested in usefully (you can’t exactly fund an X-Prize).
Hopefully, Poke: I totally agree with Poke here.
