[extropy-chat] New to the list

[Brian Atkins]

Sometimes it helps to imagine yourself having a nice large surprise 
heart attack at oh around age 45. Or better yet that you get diagnosed 
with terminal cancer, and oops insurance is out of the question now. In 
those last few conscious moments are you going to feel ok that you 
aren't signed up for cryonics, or instead be kicking yourself because 
you let some vague social worries seal your fate?

P.S. I also found that irrationally but powerfully it did help to 
actually see some other people in person who are already signed up. So 
if there are people within driving distance who get together 
occasionally, then go visit them. Or perhaps you would enjoy this link:
