X-Message-Number: 15969 From: Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 10:30:47 EST Subject: Anyone on cryonet going to Foresight Conference? Hello, Fellow Cryonet readers, Rudi Hoffman from Daytona, FL here. Following with interest the meme flow on cryonet. And thinking that it will be great to meet some of the "Friendly AI God Creators" and "The Loyal Resistors" in person. I have no doubt this will happen over time. Keep up the good work, folks. I feel better about my long term future already. I am not being facetious here. Ideas and ideologies have consequences and are important. I am making a decision regarding going to the Foresight Senior Associate meeting in April. Determining whether I can "cost justify" it to myself and my wife. Costs are hard costs of airline travel from Florida, conference costs, hotel, transportation, and mostly losing momentum in my financial planning/cryonics insurance practice. On the other hand, meeting the "movers and shakers" at Foresight Institute could be a tremendous career move. And a hell of a lot of fun! Anyway, if you are thinking of going, perhaps we could share a room and/or taxi from airport. You can respond to cryonet, or email me individually at Or call me at 1-800-749-3773. Thanks to all you visionaries for being yourselves. Warmly, Rudi Hoffman Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15969
