Putting all those events together into one thing doesn't actually work. I find myself confused trying to contemplate the sort of mind that could simultaneously advocate cryonics and seasteading, as if social cohesion wasn't a useful thing in preserving a frozen head for a few centuries. Maybe I've missed something.

The current "social cohesion" allows the government to perform autopsies that interfere with cryonics, and only allows cryonics at all under the guise of organ donation to scientiffic research.
