Like attracts like. If the earliest cryoncisits were agnostics, then they would (unconsciously) pitch their message to other of their kind. Those new recruits would then spread it to more with the same belief systems . . and so on. I have always assumed that is why cryonics originally was dominated by young computer oriented, white American men. There is no particular reason why women, or poets, or New Zealanders, or anybody else should not become cryoncisits but we haven't pitched the message to them yet. We are breaking out of our ghetto'. I am not a man. Randolfe isn't young. You aren't . . . .
