Cypherpunks will be needed in the future, even if only to break
out of the Matrix. Avoid info death...


Imagine a patient arriving in an ambulance to Hospital A, a typical
modern hospital. The patient's heart stopped 15 minutes before the
EMTs arrived and he is immediately pronounced dead at the hospital.
What if, though, the doctors at Hospital A learned that Hospital B
across the street had developed a radical new technology that could
revive a patient anytime within 60 minutes after cardiac arrest with
no long-term damage? What would the people at Hospital A do?

Of course, they would rush the patient across the street to Hospital B
to save him. If Hospital B did save the patient, then by definition
the patient wouldn't actually have been dead in Hospital A, just
pronounced dead because Hospital A viewed him as entirely and without
exception doomed.

What cryonicists suggest is that in many cases where today a patient
is pronounced dead, they’re not dead but rather doomed, and that there
is a Hospital B that can save the day—but instead of being in a
different place, it's in a different time. It's in the future.
