The title seems to me true only in the sense that Alice thinks theories of identity are "correct" that contradict her particular set of allegiances. Meanwhile, she at least acts according to her actual preferences.
What do I think of her position? She's an odd duck, but more conceptually with it than Bob.
Seems unlikely she would be interested in cryonics. That's fine. Doesn't mean I am uninterested, as I have different preferences than she does.
I'll edit the post to make it clearer what analogy I intended. The question I meant to raise is that if someone has an Alice-like position with respect to cryonics, where they don't intuitively identify with their resurrected future self, does a cryonics evangelist have an argument against them?
I'm absolutely not trying to show that it's wrong to sign up for cryonics. I'm raising a possible way it might not be wrong not to.
