From Steve Bridge

I must agree with Charles Platt on the question of rich people and
cryonics.  Bill Gates's attitude seems to be a step lower than "idle
curiosity;" perhaps "casual disinterest" would be more accurate.  For
decades some cryonicists (including me in my first couple of years)
have hoped for a rich white knight (actually we didn't care what
color) to rescue us.
 
Folks, we might as well wait for the aliens to rescue us.  WE are
involved; WE want this; so WE must finance cryonics, push it, and
manage it.
 
Steve
