Recovering: I'm not signed up for cryonics, though I think I may sign up eventually when the marginal benefit in singularity risk of a dollar spent saving the world is much lower. I definitely don't think that everyone should sign up, but I didn't take the claim literally. My main point was that unlike Eliezer, you did seem to be speaking literally/precisely, and # Cryonics can't fail. # Humanity can't fail to survive all existential risks. # My revival can't be prevented by anything else, unknown unknowns included. # Paris's can't. # I can't make it without cryonics. # Paris can't. don't follow from his statement.
