X-Message-Number: 1778 From: Ralph Merkle <> Subject: Re: #1770 - Uploading Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1993 17:48:19 PST Some people are interested in uploading, some aren't. Some people are interested in cryonics, some aren't. There are four possible categories. All four categories are occupied. While I believe that those interested in uploading are more likely to be interested in cryonics and thus those interested in uploading provide a better group of potential recruits than those who are not, an interest in uploading does not by itself automatically imply an interest in cryonics. It would be incorrect, however, to attack all those interested in uploading because they don't fulfill our expectations of having 100% interest in cryonics. It would also be foolish to attack all male libertarian programmers in their 30's because most of them are not interested in cryonics. While this group is more likely to be interested in cryonics, there are wide variations within the group. Cheers! Ralph Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1778
