Message #24696; Re. comparisons pages [Aubrey de Grey] Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 23:17:58 -0400 Aubrey's suggestion is a good one as such a joint page would take the type of approach similar to that of a cryonics-interested independent body. A line by line comparison of organization and service categories in a cooperative effort would eliminate the use of "better", "best" and other comparative adjectives, except where both parties agree that it is factual and appropriate. However, a problem exists that Joe Waynick and Ben Best may not have the ability to make such decisions for Alcor and CI despite both of them being chief executive officer of their respective organizations. Either one or both may be overruled on such a joint comparison page by their Board of Directors. IMO, the output of a joint committee of both Boards to create such a comparison page would be only an enormous expenditure of time with no agreed comparison page at all. **Kitty Antonik Wakfer MoreLife for the rational - http://morelife.org Reality based tools for more life in quantity and quality Self-Sovereign Individual Project - http://selfsip.org Rational freedom by self-sovereignty & social contracting > Message #24696 > Subject: comparisons pages > From: Aubrey de Grey <> > Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 10:37:12 +0100 > > Might there be scope for a co-authored/co-maintained comparisons page, > posted at both sites?
