[ExI] Cryogenics Faith or a Belief? {Terry}

[citta437 at aol.com]

First let me suggest a review of a book related to the issue of skin 
color:
"Human Primates

The Third Chimpanzee, by Dr. Jared Diamond
        [Among the top 10 books I've ever read]

This is Dr. Diamond's attempt to explain to his two boys how humans and 
chimps can be so different when the DNA is not (98.4% identical).  The 
second half of his book gets pretty technical and you'd have to really 
be curious to make it through -- but it is worth it.  He hints that 
Mediterranean climate is why European-type primates have historically 
dominated so much of the globe, without being really any different that 
any of the other human primates.  This important theme, which makes 
skin color look ridiculous as a way of judging another person, is 
explained in his Guns, Germs and Steel.  Reading Third Chimpanzee, 
you'll feel like you're in college -- that's a warning, or a 
recommendation, depending on how you look at it, but it  maybe one of 
the best courses you ever took! "

Majority of beliefs on superiority of one race over another cause 
conflicts due to ignorance or innate tendency to survive in the 
changing environment. Some sociologists fear that global warming is one 
of the factors why immigration to European countries are on the rise. 
The changes in climate that cause drought cause the migration of 
primates from one place to another to look for food. In turn these 
events cause the domino effect leading to the present conflict/ wars 
between the affluent and less affluent nations.
The mixture of race and skin color pales in comparison to a much larger 
conflict that can lead to the extinction of the human race. The 
probability of this happening is high and imho cryogenics is a belief 
akin to a religious belief if we cling to it as the only solution to 
the preservation of the human race.

Technologists who focus on creating the process of cryogenics may 
overlook what is needed right here and now. We explored the cosmos but 
we have'nt controlled the weather. We barely touch the tip of the ice 
berg so to speak when it comes to understanding the processes of nature 
such as:

1. Consciousness
2. Mutating virus causing epidemics
3. Emotional vs. Rational behavior
