If you want to persuade me to spend less of my money on myself and more on trying to save the world, surely you should start with frippery like nice sandwiches or movies, rather than something that's a matter of life and death?

It seems reasonable to me that multifoliaterose would start with something that people aren't much naturally inclined to anyway, rather than things like sandwiches, because he's much more likely to succeed in the case of something (like cryonics) that there isn't much natural human tendency for.
