Thank God, I've been lurking on this forum for years now, and its this one that I have never felt like such an outsider on this forum, especially with the very STRONG language Eliezer uses throughout both this post and the other one. It felt as if I was being called more than just a bit irrational but stupid for thinking there was a more than negligible chance that I upon waking I would be in a physical or mental state in which death was preferable yet I would be unable to deliver.
I can see it being very plausible to be awoken in extreme and constant agony, or perhaps in some sort of permanent vegetative state, or in some sort of not yet imagined unbreakable continued and torturous servitude for the 1,000+ years. I just do not the risks as outweighing the benefits of simply being alive.
