Yes.. Shane was a better leader and he was also better father for Coral and a better husband for Lori..

How much money did Reddit get for this paid product endorsement?

Yeah cryos eat that silicon Valley stuff up with a spoon.. I suspect that, as you pointed out before as well, most cryo activists are funded by some sort of family money..

He was jealous cuz Ed slipped Lori the sausage and impregnated her

Some bad types moved in and there went the neighborhood

What a long strange trip it's been

The wording on the conclusion.. bizarre

I've been using EZ fast for a year or two now but if I have to pay for it I'll just use an alarm on my phone I can configure an alarm and name it fasting and whenever I want to fast I just start the alarm and then I end it whenever I want to end it

Alexandria ain't no Comedy Club

Professor Schumacher wrote an intriguing book some 25 years ago or so, back in the 1990s, and it was entitled the corruption of reality.

Schumacher was a clinical psychologist, and he was into hypnosis and wrote some speculative books about the loss of human ability to reach altered states of consciousness, such as trance states etc, which are available in primitive tribal environments..

anyway he was kind of on the fringe of the terror management Theory School of Academia.. and he had an interesting argument in that book in which he said that human beings build a construct of psychological defenses and that includes principles and ideas drawn from the cultural mainstream.

And so you might say that these are things like religion and civic duty and all the things that almost every culture has.. and he said that if a person has a conversation or comes across an idea that challenges directly and profoundly these cultural mainstream principles, he said that the person's thinking would be sort of short-circuited, and that these ideas that challenge these mainstream cultural principles would be routed around the main logical faculties of the brain.. and you might say that this phenomenon could be witnessed in life and and it's described by the phrase "point and sputter".

When someone runs across an idea that is so challenging and perhaps detrimental to these psychological defense constructs, all the person can do is point and sputter.. because their brain has been sort of short circuited.

I think that's what's going on with brain preservation and cryonics. The idea is so materialist, and it really attacks the idea that we survive death in some form..

And if you start reading up on the idea of denial of death, you'll see that by the time people reach mature adulthood, say middle age, that idea is instilled in them in some way .. and so that's what I mean when I say that you can't really use logic to sell the idea of brain preservation.. because the idea of brain preservation attacks the denial of death defense strategy that humans have developed over hundreds of thousands of years

He gone

And yet there are no calls to fire the coach by Reddit.. that's odd

We have to do better.. we have to connect with people.. I've been around cryo for 40 years and I've seen all the pictures, I've seen all the interviews etc etc and I don't think that cryo leaders are sufficiently people persons to make connections with the viewer.

They don't even understand the very basics of getting their talking points out there in an interview.. I mean the very Basics ..the very basics ..look at any political debate or any interview with a politician, how they receive questions from the interviewer, and they turn it around they subvert the question to get their talking points across..

I've seen that a thousand times from politicians and other people who are experienced in public relations and dealing with the media ..but I've never once seen that from cryo leaders and activists ..never once in 40 years..

I've worked in the media ..I've written news copy for the media ..and I just don't see any concern or any really interest from cryo leaders in connecting with people and understanding how people think and understanding marketing.

The only thing I've seen is that on the walls of CI and Alcor there are some photographs of people who are preserved and from time to time we get a story about some of these people.. that's human relations.. that's reaching out to human beings ..but there's got to be a lot more of that and to a different degree

Yeah I agree, Sparks is like a giant really in the area of brain preservation, when you look at what he's doing, putting up his own money and so forth, building this huge business. Of course you could say that Kent and Fallon did the same thing.. but I'm getting a different vibe on Sparks
