Subject: Who are my readers ?

Who are my readers?

At first, the answer seems simple: They are computer users all over the 
world, living in 1995. Are they? I think not all of them enter in that 
definition. Some may be historians  interested in cryonics ideas at the 
dawn of the technology, some may be cryonics' decision maker looking at 
the knowledge, psychology, choices or some other element of a particular 
author. There may be too some artificial systems, or uploaded brains 
exploring that kind of text. When I write, I try to produce a good reaction 
in my readers, that include both, the 1995 ones and the distant future 
users. For me, the second class is more important than the first, there are 
the people able to bring me to life after a cryonics sejourn.

Think for example about politics: most 1995 readers are american 
capitalists with a strong disgust for communism. On the other side, China, 
is the economic success story of the ending 20 th century. It is a strong 
communist system with no presure to shift to anything else. Near 2002 it 
will be the first economy in the world, twenty years later its per capita 
gross domestic product will equates the american one... I have no objection 
towards communism and could adapt readily to it. Some cryonet users have 
tell me they prefer to be death than red. Not me, so please don't discard 
me on such a question. Yes that don't will sound good for most 1995 
readers, they must keep in mind that fundamental fact: I write mostly for 
readers not even born in this century. May be this message will be the most 
1995 oriented for some time.

A thing I don't understand, is the lack of long term projects  in the 
cryonics community. I am working on trees producing some return in three 
centuries, my shortest looking project will be completed in fifty years, 
the longest not before some millenia. It seem I am the only man on Earth 
with the will to do something on that time span. Am I the only potential 
cryonics user with a purpose?

Now, some words for long time readers: I have some problems with simplectic 
Kruskal systems, mostly for Van der Waal as K3 tool. J1 seems a too 
complicated structure, I have not the over dodecaedron group, ( I can't 
prove it is a Kruskal effect). I don't understand the time window problem 
in K3.
