You remember from the Entrepreneurs Manual:

First-rate people hire first-rate people. Second-rate people hire third-rate people.

Thanks for expressing it so eloquently, FL. I concur in all points.

As one who is approaching cryonics from a rigorous angle and who has known Mike for 15+ years I’m also very unhappy that the cryonics community continues to ignore him as a unique resource nevermind as a human being. This is not only unfair, but also quite self-defeating for the field of human cryopreservation as a whole.

I want to back this up with my own experience. Mike Darwin is all that Dave writes and more. I think we need a project to help him – a project with clear goals, support of key people, and “lay” cryonicists and a realistic plan – how to get Mike Darwin back on track, provide funding for his work, select opportunities for using his talents and manage the relations issue to everyone’s benefit. I wanted to do that for some time, but sadly I didn’t make much progress.

I think this is a fair and reasonable description of Mike Darwin.
