so wish. 


(Rudi Hoffman writing from sunny Florida)
 
I add my congratulations to Chrissie  D.  to that of Shannon Vyff  copied in 
part above  for a reasonably favorable article/interview with  Chrissie on 
Cryonet earlier.  
 
Nice job, Chrissie!  
 
And, may I request to the rest of us that when you get YOUR "fifteen  minutes 
of fame" chance to be interviewed about your affiliation with cryonics,  or 
just the next time you are in conversation about it at a party, to PLEASE  
clarify that this medical intervention is usually affordable through life  
insurance.
 
We know there are significant and entrenched meme-sets which have  heretofore 
been arguably at the heart of this technology not being more widely  adopted.
 
At least one of these has been, also arguably, the public perception that  
"cryonics is for really rich folks...not people like me." 
 
We can change this perception easily.  Well, easier than changing the  
superstitious nonsense and charlatanism that passes for religion, anyway.   

(Oops...did I offend someone?...too bad.  Religion has gotten a free pass  for 
too 
long, with only a few thought leaders like Daniel Dennet, Sam Harris,  and 

Richard Dawkins daring to go against the grain and expose the truth of this  
massive 
fraud.)
 
So, before I get on a rant here, I will close, trying to remember that  "good 
postings have one theme, easily assimilated and remembered. "
 
So, to review. :) 

Scenario:  Your cryonics views and interest,  and the articulate and 

interesting way you present them, have earned you a spot  on "Oprah."  You will 
be 

viewed and heard by tens of millions of soccer  moms and beer guzzling, unkempt

men watching you because they are in  between jobs, as well as many thoughtful,
surprisingly deep people who will tune  in.   Yippee!  

In the short period of time you are  allowed, and in multiple contexts to 
reduce the chance for loss in the editing  room floor, you emphasize that 
"CRYONICS IS AN AFFORDABLE OPTION THROUGH LIFE  INSURANCE!"  (Well, you don't 

actually HAVE to shout...but please make sure  this concept comes through loud 
and 
clear.)
 
Please get this in your interview, along with other reasonable and rational  
reasons why people should consider joining one of the greatest adventures  
possible in human existence.  Why they should be a member of one of the  most 
select, rare, and elite groups on the planet, the order of "fully signed  and 
funded cryonicists."
 
Here endeth my request.  This request has been lodged in your brain so  

forcefully and deeply, that you won't forget to do this even when the  
performance 
anxiety and fear of public speaking are causing strange chemicals to  

circulate throughout your body and brain.   In other words, you'll  remember 
this even 
when you are scared shitless being interviewed! LOL
 
Thank you all for being a vital part of this growing, forward thinking, and  
brilliant community. 
 
 Perhaps some will look back at this still pioneering time with  fondness, 
when cryonicists were still "outliers" too small to show as a bump on  almost 
any demographic curve.   But the march of progress and  technology remains in 

our favor, and someplace down the road we can look back  with pleasure at being
"ahead of the curve" in our support of cryonics.

Yours for Centuries,
 
Rudi
