Subject: cryonics will grow when we realize we are freaks


some dude on cold filter just read something written by mike darwin and 
exclaimed about how fascinating it was.

Here is my reply:

Yeah, darwin's writing is fascinating to many cryonicists and like minded 
people. But we are a tiny fraction of 1 percent of the population. If we want to
grow cryonics then when we write about cryonics and make it fascinating to a 
LARGE percentage of the population, then we will grow.


But while we write about cryonics in a way that only a small fraction of 1 
percent of the population find fascinating, then cryonics will remain moribund.


Here is the fundamental fact--we are fundamentally similar to merely a tiny tiny
fraction of the populace. And we write things that appeal to people like us. 


That is why cryonics cannot grow-- we do not realize that we are freaks. 
Overcome your contempt for the unwashed masses and sell cryonics in a way they 
can understand.
