Bwahahahaha get fucked you unbearable scumsucking dork
I mean just look at his fucking sentence construction with the rule of three and the cute internal rhyme/alliteration on “ideology/inevitability/individual”
I’m sorry, and this isn’t massively SneerClub except insofar as the death bit is obviously very Yud-coded, it’s just this quote came up again in the middle of a long and really bleak article, and for whatever reason I just burst out laughing
He’s always so goddamn indignant, like he’s being bullied for his lunch money but he came prepped with the most badass comebacks he could think of in the mirror - I mean seriously, read the quote back to yourself out loud and see if it would ever work outside “an online libertarian journal”, let alone on a stage
Look at his fucking face, how does this guy get up in the morning and not only take himself seriously, but take himself that goddamn seriously
Anyway…
Wait Thiel doesn’t think everyone will die? Is he one of those cryo nuts on top of everything else?
Shit dude even the pre-socratics come to us via a long game of telephone. Ideas die too.
Yes, he intends to be frozen as a fashion statement.

I’m sorry, how do you measure that? Aren’t all companies exactly tied in cryogenics for having successfully revived exactly ZERO people?
@V0ldek They haven’t accidentally unplugged a freezer yet?
@strangebirds @V0ldek I’d like to think that every human cryo facility has a “Days Since Last Accidental Thawing-Out” sign. Or maybe “Days Since Last Midnight Dumping of Several Lumpy Sacks”.
Is that actually true? Have they been audited? One problem with long-term storage is “long-term” is a thing that humans are bad at.
Just the other day, a bunch of cryo tanks holding scientific specimens in a research hospital in Sweden failed and destroyed 30 years worth of data.
best you can get is attestation from some obscure company in Bahamas
Supposedly the head of baseball legend Ted Williams was frozen, but was dropped and cracked at some point. Don’t know if that was the same company.
Peter what in the Sam fuck are you talking about?
peter is so brave for going after Big Death
Thiel is a serial fool for the patient-funded-trial scam, e.g. the young blood scam

I don’t think it’s disturbing. I think it’s a crock of shit but a fool and his money and all that. It sounds like Thiel doesn’t actually understand why people think he’s crazy.
In the old days rich people just donated money to build a chapel, with priests or monks continually praying for the rich dead person’s soul.
