All right, I'll play ball. If my devoting my career to AI research fails to make FAI, sure, I'll buy into cryonics.

Right now I am 19 years old, poor as dirt, lives with my parents, healthy lifestyle, careful to the point of paranoia; show me a cryonics establishment in Denmark and I will reserve a space when I have the funding. (the "show me" is a rethoric, I intend to find out myself)

I am generally optimistic with regards to FAI, and I am no strong Bayesian at all. You have a point, yeah, plain as day.

And thank you Kaj_Sotala, for taking up on this, frankly not at all "fun" or "inviting" and, yes, frankly quite "needlessly confrontational," yet still true counterargument.

wedrifid; there is a time to be direct and insulting in a playful kind of way. You need to learn when that time is.

ETA: After a brief lookup of the term "Vitrification" i find the term "Toxicity" to feature, along with "Optimistic of the future." I am not sure what to think here, compelling arguments can be made for each.
