Is everyone dropping the ball on cryonics? I’m considering career directions and my P(doom | no pause) is high and my P(doom | I work against X-risk) is close enough to my vanilla P(doom) that I wonder I should pick up this ball instead.
I don’t think so? The people who were working on cryonics are still working on it, keeping organizations running and preserving people. Cryobiologists are still working as such. I don’t think many people were choosing cryonics as a career beforehand, perhaps the people working at the orgs are having trouble recruiting? I haven’t heard of them being talent-constrained.
If you think you’d be good at making cryonics go better then I can only encourage you, another Mike Darwin would be cool.
The only way in which people are potentially dropping the ball is in terms of signing up, I should take a look if the sign-up numbers have changed.

More or less AFAIK. (See though https://www.amazon.com/Future-Loves-You-Should-Abolish-ebook/dp/B0CW9KTX76 )
