I find it hard to be that cynical on a gut level, even if it is accurate. Is there a name for the cognitive bias I'm exhibiting here? If not, I propose "the OH FUCK OH SHIT NO bias".
Are you referring to the issue of whether not knowing about cryonics is ignorance?
If so, it's probably the Typical Mind Fallacy.
People in other spheres might call not knowing about football ignorance, or not knowing about politics, or economics. You know about cryonics, so you consider not knowing about that ignorance.
