X-Message-Number: 19087 From: "George Smith" <> References: <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #19068 - #19080 Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 10:32:24 -0700 In Message 19078 Tim Freeman referring to my two posts regarding why so few people sign up for cryonics wrote in part: "It is not obvious that more consciousness helps you act more effectively in your life, and it is not obvious that there is an effective procedure to achieve more consciousness. It is pretty clear that some religious cults are organized around the goal of achieving more consciouness, but that doesn't imply that the goal is worthless." My entire point was not regarding whether people can become more conscious or whether this would be desirable. What I was attempting to communicate was that on the whole the human beast IS usually NOT conscious and if you want to get it to consider cryonics you had better take that into account. Hope that clarifies things. George Smith CI member and Immortalist Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19087
