X-Message-Number: 19787 Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 12:45:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Randall Burns <> Subject: Evaluating Improving odds of Cryonics working There are two means for evaluating odds of a given future event that I've seen with some academic backing: a) the delphi method (a system of iterative voting --I have a crude freeware implementation at http://www.outlander.com/delphi b) market based decision support(which is similar to what insurance companies do). A demo is at http://www.ideosphere.com IMHO the biggest dangers facing those of us that plan to be frozen are either some substantial societal dislocation(i.e. nuclear winter, widespread use of biological weapons, religious/environmentalist reaction against cryonics) or a natural disaster(i.e. asteroid crashing into the earth). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
