In this episode, Max and Daniel interview philosopher Theodore Schick, Jr of Muhlenberg College and discuss the big philosophical questions behind Cryonics:

  • Is Cryonics a science, a pseudo-science , or something else entirely?
  • What does it mean to preserve your identity?
  • Should you be worried about mind-uploading?
  • Are humans natural born dualists?
  • How might scenarios of the future upend our ethical and philosophical intuitions?

We tackle all of these questions and more in a wide-ranging discussion that you should definitely be losing sleep over! As always, you can find us over at The Cryosphere discord server, or email us at cryonicsunderground@gmail.com with your comments.
