Because I am one of the sci-tech types, but also the "normal" adventure type. I lived in Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia) for the past 10 years up until last summer. Now, I am trying to get funding for a business which will be based in the U.S. but will, hopefully, take me back to Asia alot. From a marketing standpoint, the difference between the sci-tech types and the adventurer, expat types is that the latter are more skeptical of the promise of "Drexlerian nanotech" and need to be convinced that the cryopreservation technique does, in fact, preserve the neurological consituents of memory, since stem-cell developments, along with some other near-term technologies, does make a compelling case for regeneration (and rejuvenation). The thing is that I have a much more biological focus about cryonics and immortality than the Drexlerian people. For example, I still do not believe in "dry" nanotechnology. However, I think that "wet" nanotech, biotech or synthetic bio-memetic systems, or whatever you want to call it; is going to be able to do far more than what the Drexlerian people think. But, it will not lead to a univeral assembler. Alcor has more women involved these days and they seem to have a more grounded attitude about the kinds of technologies that we're really going to have in the next 20-30 years, and leave all of the dreamy stuff to the Drexlerian crowd. I am working with one of them (Karla Steen) to establish a genetic banking business for humans and pets. Karla also happens to be the marketing person for Alcor these days. You should subscribe to Thomas Donaldson's newsletter called "Periastron". It is very good and very biologically focused, compared to anything you hear from the Drexlerian crowd. As for religion, I have friends and associates of probably every major religion on the planet (I don't know any Mormons or Jews) and most of the minor ones as well (don't know anyone into Voudoun, however). So religion pretty much comes with the territory. The Muslims seem to be a bit feisty these days. Anyways, what are you doing in Hawaii and which island do you live on? I hear it's bleeding expensive to live there and that taxes are high. My wife is Japanese and, of course, she would like to live in Hawaii.
