Hottest New Investment Opportunity? Cryogenics. So You Can Freeze Yourself & Wait For Group Intelligence To Improve :(

   (Commentary by Roger Erickson)




The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy

Pity it's not OpenSourced ... so it could reach enough citizens soon enough to matter.

What if:

a) there was more prior-logic than there will aggregate be future-logic?
(i.e., any increased local logic is drowned out by mass idiocy?)

b) the power goes out? (cry me a genic)

c) our collective memoirs of the future are all bypassed (and descendants don't WANT us revived)?

d) we all turn into Lemmings ... and a global migration to a warmer climate occurs?

e) you awake in an alternate universe, where hetero has become ortho and ortho hetero, and licensed dox make all processes re-run in reverse? :)
