Poll: If You Could Cryogenically Freeze Yourself, Would You?

[Alterego-X]

Not on these ridiculous time lengths, but I would skip forwards in few decade long jumps just to see how still comprehensible but slightly more streamlined world would look like.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that the singularity would be coming not long after that anyways, if not in the next 50 years then in the next 200, so beyond that it would be all pointless, if I could just live *through* those next 10.000 years (along with everyone else, so there wouldn't be that much cultural change anyways).

Yes, but I would wait until I was on my death bed. I'd want to see how it all turns out in the future. If the Earth is destroyed, I can find comfort in knowing that I had lived my life in a great time for humanity. If the Earth is amazingly advanced and beyond my wildest dreams, I'll find comfort in the fact that we humans finally figured are shit out. Win win.

I think I would, I would love to see the future

Also, it is "cryonics", cryogenics is a different, if somewhat related field

 

[Voulan]

No. The idea of being completely out of my own time and understanding, and confused about every aspect of daily life and beyond is terrifying. The world would have changed too much, and it's unlikely someone has the mental capacity to deal with that much loss of information.

I'd do it and I'll have no regrets

Set me up for the max time so I can be an example of a human being in the dark ages of the 21st century

Basically, I want to be Fry from Futurama, damn it!
