 I would just like to point out the obvious to those who want brain
vitrification, but have not yet pledged:

 This is highly speculative, but if we want this, then we must do this.
Will anyone one else do it? What is the payoff? The payoff is life.

The ultimate security for your pledge is the dedication and fervor of the
people involved. Are there any doubts there? I have none.

And on the subject of monetary return on investments,  I
do not read this mailing list in search of ideas in this area, and I don't
know why anyone would do so.

Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting 'I dare not' wait upon 'I would,'*
Like the poor cat i'th' adage?

      Shakespeare

* The cat would eate fish, and not wet her feete
