X-Message-Number: 6845 From: (Thomas Donaldson) Subject: HO HUM SQUARED Date: Wed, 4 Sep 1996 12:27:11 -0700 (PDT) Greetings again! I note that the cockpit remains full. I am not a gambling man and therefore don't wish to lay bets on just which one survives. Not long ago I had an interesting private discussion with Paul Wakfer on the rate of growth of cryonics. As we all know, ever since the split it has gone down dramatically, at least for the societies which were involved. From as high as 20% or more, it has plummeted to about 7%. Reading the last few Cryonets, I've been scratching my head and wondering why. The discussions are so luminous and penetrating, the basic understanding of the issues raised by cryonics runs so deep, I just don't see how such perceptiveness doesn't raise the rate of growth of cryonics societies even more. What a mystery! Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Best wishes, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6845
