Well, I'll just leave it there. Oh... one more thing.
Gina Miller's video is simply awful. She didn't post
my remarks to her blog but I DID post my reponse on
sci.cryonics.... which makes sci.cryonics THE best
conversation area.... for cryonics... in the world
right now.... apart from doing one's own blog and
getting it on Google blog.

You mean the one she posted the other day, the one
with the rabbit that was hiding behind the Easter
Island statue? I agree, it was awful--from MY
perspectve. She has an ultrafeminine sensibility that
just takes me the wrong way.

HOWEVER....with a bit more work and extension to that
video, a 6 year old kid might find her work absolutely
ENTRANCING. Different audiences, different
perspectives etc. Adults do not watch saturday morning
cartoons for a reason.

And if she were to create some sort of cryonics video,
kids are a much more receptive audience to our ideas
than are adults, and kids are an audience we actually
have a good chance of influencing, at least long term.

Kids are the future of cryonics growth, not changing
adult minds.

Mark Plus posted a url of a youtube video the other
day. Some kids used hand puppets -- Muppets a la
sesame street-- to make a video explaining cryonics.
It had a lot of potential, I think. What a great way
to reach kids. No need for flash cartoons. Even just
one person could create a video of hand puppets
talking to each other, and then supplement it with
flash video showing geometric shapes and flowcharts
etc. to explain basic cryonics concepts.
