Reality Check
By Mike Darwin Introduction In order to understand the significance of the results of the Cryonics Intelligence Test and the discussion of priorities in cryonics research that is to follow (and in particular the relationship of such research to the … Continue reading
Cryonics Intelligence Test Responses
Introduction On 06 May, 2012 responses were solicited to what was termed The Cryonics Intelligence Test which was posted here on Chronosphere (see: http://wp.me/p1sGcr-vV). Two people responded to this public request to “take the test” and provide input on possible … Continue reading

Take the Cryonics Intelligence Test
When you give the answer to a question over and over again and it is not understood, perhaps not even perceived, and the question gets asked repeatedly, you know you’ve got a communication problem. I suppose the classic example is … Continue reading
Cryonics: An Historical Failure Analysis, Lecture 2: Inherent Failure Mechanisms and Risks, Part 3
THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE SLIDE 137 Alcor had achieved an exponential rate of membership growth by the time Jerry Leaf was cryopreserved. Since that time, there has been only modest growth of membership and in fact, in the years since … Continue reading
