  Maybe you would need a trust in between?

  But yeah, good point, it might explain (more) why it didn’t blow up.

  should make it easier to convince, no? this system is more likely to mean the donation is tax deductible which is good

  ah, yeah, that’s what I was referring to with:

  At some point this incentive mechanism would stop working because a party receiving 0 vs a party receiving non-zero would benefit more from having money at the margin.

  I’m not sure I’m seeing how “most ads aren’t for getting people to switch sides” means “$10m of ads for one party and $8m in ads for the other is not equivalent to $2m in just one”

  Oh, based on your DM, they will still preserve and transport your brain to OregonCryo for indefinite storage for free if you can’t afford it. So I wouldn’t say they’re no longer active. But it’s still good info to know they aren’t doing the storage locally anymore. Thanks for sharing.

  Oh wow! Damn ☹️ Well, I’m super grateful for the time it was active. If you don’t mind sending me a copy of your exchanges, I’d be interested.

  I don’t feel strongly about this one way or another, but I think it’s reasonable to expend the term cryonics to mean any brain preservation method done with the hope for future revival as that seems like the core concept people are referring to when using the term. When the term was first coined, room temperature options weren’t a thing. https://​​www.lesswrong.com/​​posts/​​PG4D4CSBHhijYDvSz/​​refactoring-cryonics-as-structural-brain-preservation
