Well, what's my personal motivation, then, if I am engaging in motivated cognition?

But I do concede that my comment has a big problem here: "provides a personal incentive to hurry the intelligence explosion along so that it occurs before the death of the people signed up for cryonics" and I would have deleted my comment had you not replied already. Give me a few minutes to try to reconstruct the thinking that led to my conclusion.

One part is that getting people who are living now to hope to live a very long time disincentivizes them to consider strategies in which the singularity happens after they die.

But there was another part ISTR.
