"The Devil is in the details."

The problem is that RIGHT NOW there is NO uploading or "waldo" option.

However cryonics DOES exist.

The rest is speculation until and unless it becomes real.

So use the lifeboat which DOES exist.

Don't get confused by talk of better lifeboats which DON'T exist.

Your life may depend upon it.
