Yes, Berlin is the most obvious candidate at this point, and it seems strong on most fronts except climate and prices.
Note that cheap flights make "not be too far from any other country" much less important than it used to be.
Note that saying "X. That's why I think Y" is a straightforward transformation of "I think Y, because X", which I've been asking not to say.
As an exercise in consequentialist thinking, I suggest you rephrase your comment :)
Have you added the important note after I made the comment or I just missed it totally? Anyway:
If the European Base is going to be Berlin, members of a larger group of nations will be able to attend, due to the position being almost central from any other European countries. The community that is going to be developed there, as an entity nested inside the German government / culture / etc., will benefit from less ostracism and a wider acceptance even in its weirder facets (cryonics / poly...) thus enabling a better freedom of movement / speech / publications, etc.
Good (frequent/cheap) flight connections are more important than location itself. Flying e.g. from Tallinn to Athens takes about 5 hours (about 3 hours of actual flight time).
Yes, it was there from the beginning :)
You mean Berlin :)
I like this. (I might have a tendency to assume that poly & cryonics are completely normal everyday stuff, but it's probably not so :D)
Speaking about cryonics - is there any possibility to arrange in Germany to be frozen and shipped e.g. to KrioRus for storage?
Fixed, thanks!
It's very not so! Especially in Europe...
Not that I know of, but my experience is only about Italy...
