We should be fair to posterity by having reason in seeing their sound development. |
You have made a whole range of claims and yet none of them are backed up with evidence. I think you need to read
this.
"Smart enemies"? They already exist. If they were dumb we wouldn't be concerned with them. Cryonics has nothing to do with this.
Just because people live longer doesn't mean that the world will overpopulate. The main cause of overpopulation is reproduction. If reproduction rate is exponential, whether death rate is linear or zero won't matter. There will still be overpopulation. The only feasible way to slow overpopulation is to slow the populating of the world with new people.
So what if they become cynical? Would you kill someone today just because they became cynical?
How does cyronics affect "sound development"
