What I don't understand is that we live on a planet, where we don't have all people with significant loose change
A) signing up for cryonics B) super-saturating the coffers of life-extensionists, extinction-risk-reducers, and AGI developers.
Instead we currently live on a planet, where their combined (probably) trillions of currency units are doing nothing but bloating as 1s and 0s on hard drives.
Can someone explain why?
Alas, most people on the planet either: 1. haven't heard of cryonics / useful life extension, 2. don't take it seriously, 3. have serious misunderstandings about it, or 4. reject it for social reasons.
I'm timidly optimistic about the next two generations.
