That brain is going to be a brain slurry after freezing, but hey, I’m scared of dying too so I get it. I’m just no more able to buy into the fantasy of cryonics or digital afterlives than I am the “divine” kind. More than anything it strikes me as old hopes, dreams, and fears in a new skin, like “Simulated Universe” theory.
