I'm not as smart as I wish I were; I just couldn't think of a better way to refer to that general area of idea-space, especially given that the local audience consists primarily of LW-readers who likely already know the terms. If choosing a vocabulary for a target audience counts as 'signalling', is there any communication that /doesn't/?
Anyway, I'm trying to live forced or die trying; and if a truck hits me tomorrow, there's not much more I can do to prepare other than have already signed up for cryo. Nudging my chosen cryo group to improve my odds is more of a long-term thing, and I'm just getting started. Heck, I don't even qualify to be elected to the board until I've been a member for another year or two.
Well, I'm also not as smart as I wish I were, and I don't know what you mean by "Bayesian rationalist", or "optimized in a Bayesian sense", but they do look like combinations of local buzz words. If you were tying to use them to make an argument, then I didn't get it.
If a truck hits you tomorrow and you die, then you will most likely suffer massive brain damage before any cryopreservation procedure can be attempted, hence I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
