It should not be the case that anyone here 1) thinks cryonics will work, 2) thinks cryonics working has positive expected utility, 3) wants to maximize utility, and 4) doesn't have a decent plan for cryonics. Eliezer and Robin did the whole telethon thing with "nobody has to die" and the cost-benefit analysis and whatnot.
There should not need to be an article like this.
If you actually buy into the idea that the money could be better spent on charitable giving, imagine how much charitable giving you could do in the future when you're living for a million years and everybody eats lasers.
I reiterated the cost analysis from my perspective because it is essential to my argument of why people see cryonics is super beneficial, but still fail to do anything about it. All the while sitting on a potential gold mine of money they are wasting away which could be used to get cryonics!
