It's not at all obvious to me that the marginal utility of $120/year (at a time where I'm extremely healthy, as part of a demographic that's exceptionally long-lived) is greater than that of eg. 20 malarial nets (which is an absolute lower bound for any decision, there are ways that I think can leverage my donations significantly further). Can somebody clarify this intuition for me?
The implication of this is that you should just look at cryonics as one possible way to benefit yourself, but realize that there is no reason to criticize someone who doesn't do it, just as you don't criticize someone who doesn't feel like buying himself ice cream.
Your double negatives are confusing me. :) Can you clarify?
