I agree Alcor could improve. It clearly has over the past decades, and will continue to do so. Why not participate in that? Their conference is in October.

I agree Alcor could improve. It clearly has over the past decades, and will continue to do so. Why not participate in that? Their conference is in October. I'm going. (I signed up with Alcor after Hal Finney; the only thing worse is dying, and I'd like it to get better...) $1k/yr between membership and a 20y 500k term life policy seems cheap enough to me.
