Looks like charles platt has issued another one of his periodic rants against us
oh so irresponsible cryonicists. We are all such libertines. Partying our lives
away. Tsk tsk.


Charles, the rich cryonicists will just have to cover alcor on any funding 
shortfalls. THat is just the reality of it. 


that is the only way the rich people can have a chance of ever being 
cryopreserved. Even the rich need us poor folks to help them make it to the 
future. They need us. And so they will have to help alcor and other cryo orgs 
make it, too, or else they will have no chance at the future.

I think the rich cryonicists recognize this. And they accept this.


I think however that the uber-libertarian cryos do not accept this fact. It must
really gripe their guts to think that their hard-earned/inherited money will 
have to go to help others. It must really grind on them that they will have to 
depend on others to get a chance at future revival.

Libertarians, what a laugh.


I think that Libertarianism in a person of advanced age could well be a sign of 
some sort of severe personality disorder. I mean, it is one thing to be a 
libertarian at age 30. Hey, I gotta confess I was one at that age, too. But to 
be one at age 50? Time to put away childish things, dude....
