Let's turn this around.
What opportunities are you missing by overrating risks? I am almost certain you are not socially courageous enough. Hanson always goes on about missed opportunities from FDA being too strict.
Humans in general are pretty risk averse. Which means the threat of missed opportunities is actually a lot larger than other threats!!! When I realized this, it was a big moment. I haven't compiled it fully yet, but it has really improved things over the last few weeks.
Possible examples: Taking part in paid medical experiments. Selling kidney.
This is after I die (or cryopreserve)? Or before? How much money?
It is currently only legal in Iran, where prices wouldn't be enough to cover the plane ticket out there. I recommend against it for Americans or Canadians until it becomes legal here.
