Save money.
Most people's problem is that they don't save enough
Remember, the past and current cryogenics companies are scams to move money from the mega rich to the not That rich. Unplugging the machines when moving them, or when the electric bill is too high, is common practice. There is no real plans to taw the buried. The coolants used have been comical. It’s a sci-fi dream sold to to gullible with money. And I’m here for it. It May work in the future, but the businesses currently are about selling a dream, not something that can work. We know it does not. For future possibly working models the tech needs to be fundamentally reworked from the start, not just the end.

There was a case where a cryonics pod lost power and when they discovered it, there was just a slushy mush of human brain (or brains? can't remember if it was multiple people) at the bottom...
@@MySmileStillStaysOn 😬that's my thought of will happen
@@MySmileStillStaysOn That can't be correct. The dewars that cryonics patients are stored in don't use electricity at all.
There were cases in the wild early days of cryonics in the 1960s, before perpetual funding models were developed, where mom & pop organizations went under and patients thawed with grisly results. However, that simply isn't cryonics organizations are built and funded anymore, and hasn't been in about 40 years.
Yeah like people just don't wanna end up paying lots of money to people who won't take care of them and value and respect their sacrifice. I don't trust people
The damage caused by the process is about as bad and systemic as the damage caused by aging. If you have the ability to bring someone back from that state, you’ve likely cured every disease we’ve ever faced, aging included.
Actually as a side note it’s kinda crazy, medics that slow down the aging process tremendously are probably coming to markets earlier than you might think. Not that I actually think it’s a good idea but science made huge steps recently in that field. If you do some research you can find a lot of serious studies on that.
Can you use some information from the brain to "reconstruct" anything out of it as software, at least?
@@jongyon7192p Assuming it was preserved, I don’t see why not. If you can’t then you’re not really bringing anybody back, you’re just using bodies as scrap to make new humans. Which is probably more expensive than the usual way.
The same was said when someone’s heart stopped beating.
We now know that someone with a heart that has stopped beating can be brought back.
There’s no knowing what will be discovered and found out. But theres a chance it is discovered, the main issue I foresee for this is the lack of motivation to bring back ‘newly dead’ (preserved) people.
@@turtlecat3507 Right, once the corporation in question has milked tens of thousands of people of their money, and are starting to face maintenance costs on their cryo facilities that are only ever increasing, their incentive to cash out and walk away increases precipitously.
At a certain point in the future, they will walk away from their company with most of the money, and/or it will go bankrupt, and all the corpses will have to be disposed of by the civil entities of that time and place by whatever method seems most appropriate. Given the short term profit motives of modern capitalist industries the time horizon for this process should be expected to be quite short.

I want people who I've never met, so yeah
No, truthfully, most people don't realize that the people spending money on this now are the super rich. The super rich of the past would not be liked by the super rich of the present. By the time money is spent at high enough levels in medical research to raise the dead, we would have eaten up the rich. The super rich of the future would not want the super rich of today. Cryogenics is a scam of one rich group eating the other.
Historians would love to learn about past cultures, but the question is do we really want to give everything that we own and love to go in an unknown Future?
After all the work that these birds went through, Kurzgesagt definitely needs to give them a raise 😭

Cryonics feels like the biggest scam ever, you're paying an insane amount for the very slim chance that you could be reasurrected in the future, like there is zero guarantee that you're paying for anything more than being chucked in a freezer after death
Edit: Did everyone collectively forget about wills? Like a buncha people keep commenting 'what are you gonna do with your money when your dead', uhhhh leave it to my loved ones????
Are you idiotic or of bad faith ?
THATS THE WHOLE POINT ! Would you rather have a definitive ineluctable destony or having at least a 0,00000001 chance of avoiding it ? Do you understand that even the slimest chance is better than no chance at all ?? Second if your body is truly perfectly or mostly preserved you could in theory wait all the time that is needed anyway so who cares ?
Second you know that you arent forced to do it right away you can live a bit before doing it right ?
But also that people waste their lives and money and ressources for things way stupidier and way more useless right ?
You also understand that what is important or useless for you isn't the general case for everyone.
And third to finish you know that you have alot of way to pay for this kind of shit even more if you think about it in a young age too.
I mean what other options do you have right now?
Slowing aging? Even more expensive, but worth a try probably.
You can have guaranteed eternal life, but not trough human means, trough putting your faith in Jesus Christ, The Son of God who suffered the worst death ever so we could have eternal life just by having true, genuine faith in Him. John 3:16:”For God so loved the world so He gave He’s only begotten Son, so whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”. Eternal life is a serious and real matter.

@@ajh3461 You assume capitalism will be the default in the future :D
@@snarkyalyx It probably will. Out of the three big economic systems, capitalism is the most efficient.
In both socialism and communism, you're basically giving power to governments, and if history means anything, giving a group of people a lot of power means that they will abuse it. It all depends on which system you want to become poor in, because there will always be rich people, no matter the system.
The best economic system in my opinion is a mix of capitalism and socialism, because giving equal power to the people and government means that they balance out. There will always be rich and poor people, though, which is something you can't really fix.
There is a book, "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" about a guy who gets his brain frozen and wakes up a hundred years later to learn he is the property of a government which is planning to turn him into a probe to explore the galaxy. Great series.

Ok, I've thought about this quite a lot in the past years and came up with a strange conclusion: if freezing your brain means that you can't be "dead", then whatever happens when you're truly dead will not occur (it just doesn't make any sense you being in heaven/hell or being a reincarnated worm and then suddenly being "you" again).
Now things get weird: If what determines what "you" are is your brain, and your brain is a specific configution of brain cells, which are specific configuration of molecules, etc., it means that what really matters to determinate whether you are alive or not is to keep the configuration the way it is (in this case by freezing it). But, even if you turn into dust and every atom of your body gets scattered in the ecosystem, and somehow (on a highly improbable chance by natural means in a finite universe) the very same molecules that once were your brain reassemble in the same configuration they were (or in a configuration that sustains consciousness), you should be alive again, in a fresh new life. Assuming this, whatever happens after death couldn't be eternal while the chances of the configuration that makes "you" are still possible.

Death not be being binary is one of many reasons that a soul and an afterlife are incoherent yes.

( I'm talking to tidbid6087 btw)
The company: *_*goes bankrupt and dissolves*_*
The frozen bodies in their storage unit:🥶🥶
That hasn't been a concern in 50 years. For the organization I'm signed up with (the Alcor Life Extension Foundation), the company that signs people up and performs cryopreservation is a separate legal and financial entity from the Alcor Patient Care Trust, which is the organization that maintains the people in cryosuspension and, technology permitting, eventually have them revived.
If ALEF went out of business tomorrow, it would suck for those of us who are still walking around, but it wouldn't affect the people currently in suspension at all. The Patient Care Trust owns the facility outright, and the cost to maintain the patients is very low. The Trust is sitting on a pile of money that's managed very conservatively and generates more money than its total operating costs, so that fund just keeps growing over time. Nothing short of societal collapse would cause it to "go bankrupt." Additionally, it's legally set up such that it's not possible for anyone to take the money and run. It's in escrow, and can only be used for the care and eventual revival of the patients. Finally, one of the requirements to be on the board for the Trust is that you have to have a family member in cryosuspension.
There would probably be something done with them
Hell naw man 😭🙏
@@unfunnyduckyunfortunatley no...
Majority of cryo companies went bankrupt.
The storage turned into mush. Nobody cared.
Also - those running already lost majority of their "customers". Because power outages occur and if the temperature goes even slightly up - ice forms rendering entire thing useless.
@@keepdoingyourjob4404power outages are a non issue as seen with hospitals, cinemas, most relevant sport stadiums and other public use buildings.
There's several backup systems for when the current goes out that can last for days/weeks(depends on the system) with the minimum operating resources required by law in most first world countries, and systems in place so the current doesn't go away for even a second while the backups go in action

Fun fact: we can already do successful cryonics on small animals like hamsters. They freeze them instantly and then wake them back up in a microwave. We just can’t do it with humans because our bodies can’t fully freeze fast enough to not damage ourselves.
Here me out
A bigger freezer 🤷♀️
I can totally tell this is satire, aint no way someone would put a hamster in a microwave noooo :(
How long can the hamster be frozen for before waking them up? I think you can also do it kind of with flies. I saw a video where someone wanted to tie a leash on a fly and he froze them, tied a string around them and when they woke up they were on a “leash”
@@jonhard1049 Microwaves were invented by someone researching cryonics on hamsters, he needed an easy way to revive frozen hamsters so he invented the microwave.
Actually this works.

Theoretically, the brain can live for much longer than the body that houses it. Usually people die from something not related to the brain, something else that's needed for the brain to survive fails first and then the brain dies as a result.
It's plausible to take the brain out of the body, now, making it able to see, hear, touch, feel and the like, we can get to that later. But, to keep JUST the brain alive, you simply need to engineer a fluid that can give the brain what it needs. To do that, we can either just make new/take human blood and spinal fluid to give nutrients to it, connecting that to a tank that filter's it out and replaces it. Or, you can engineer a new fluid which is much more fun imo.
The brain get's nutrients and oxygen from Diffusion, blood cells pass by the brain and through diffusion in small blood vessels, oxygen finds it's way to the brain. This means that TECHNICALLY we don't even need blood, we just need to find something that can carry oxygen and nutrients with it through the capillaries. For that, we can either use Copper Based Blood which is far more efficient and free floating so the risk of virus's and infections are next to 0. Or, we can create tiny machines/engineer better Cells that are more efficient and resilient. To get the blood to pump, we just need to install a pump, the way the bodies blood vessels are made makes this pretty easy, we could even replace these blood vessels with new ones if we wanted.
Now, we just take this and place it into a robotic body. There's a youtuber who's able to control video games using a device that looks at Brain Activity. The same thing can be used here. The only issue's really are that we don't know how the brain will react to no longer having a body, phantom pains are likely. Eyes and Ear's would be difficult to manufacture, so would other senses we have. You could fix this by engineering a method to send Electrical Signals to the brain through a fake spine, mimicking the necessary electrical signals for the brain to think it has X body part. It's plausible that you could use a similar method to translate, say, a camera's data into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, allowing you too see through a camera instead of eyes. Or unlocking the senses, such as by translating the data of a Touch Sensor on say the robotic arm, into the feeling of touch.
This still doesn't get rid of other psychological effects, such as the unknown causes of Dementia, the memory loss that would inevitably come with living for way longer than plausible. Or the psychological effects of effectively living in a simulation of what your robotic body is doing. You'd be a squishy brain inside a giant metal casket for however long it takes for your brain to finally stop working.

I’ve always found it so funny that we know how to put people into cryo but haven’t figured out the process of taking them out 😂😂
I mean, it's super easy to freeze something organic, you can literally do it at home. But say in the case of vegetables, as an example, freezing and then thawing them out ruined the structural integrity of the vegetable and left you with mush (because of the formation of ice crystals like they mention in the video). It wasn't until 1924 that Clarence Birdseye (yes, Birdseye like that company sells frozen foods at grocery stores) invented flash freezing to quickly freeze foods which prevents the formation of ice crystals allowing them retain their freshness after being thawed out. However, humans are not vegetables and are much much more complex (especially considering frozen vegetables are just the fruit of the plant and not the entire plant so they're not "alive" like a whole plant or human would be).

Looking at this from a logical point of veiw, this is very tempting. The only argument against this is the fact that it goes so much against nature. But maybe our technological innovations are ultimately part of nature.
Forget going against nature, it goes against capitalism -- which is a much stronger force: a company that sells this "service" has absolutely no incentive to actually try to revive you later.
They already got your money (for the freeze/revive "service"), your heirs got all the rest of your money on your death -- so you are now just a penniless "corpse", where any attempts of "revival" is ALL DOWNSIDES for the company. All cons, no pros.
Why would a company risk being sued if the "revival" process doesn't work so well? Their only incentive is to keep you frozen forever -- and the incentive to only do that is not really there either. Company can declare bankruptcy or just say your cryo-freezer failed. Oops.

as a 23 year old who's always been disabled: Don't waste your money. These companies are PREYING on people like us specifically. And frankly, if you could be revived with all your memory, wouldn't you rather have a new body that doesn't have The Bad Chemicals (see also: Not Enough Serotonin) and has joints that work and fresh bones? Or better yet, a biologically indestructible body, a la scifi robots with human brains inside them? There are so many reasons you should give up on this idea that one youtube comment cannot do it justice, but a thing especially worth noting is that the freezing processes we currently have cannot freeze a human sized specimen before the freezing starts to cause damage.
Like, I'm not trying to hurt your mental state or anything but *if this is your daily hope you need to find a new one,* and anti-aging technology looks like it might be the best way out, since a lot of those treatments could affect genetic disabilities too (specifically: CRISPR could help) and frankly that sounds a lot less risky than potentially doing irreversible damage that cannot be recovered without access to technology better used on things that aren't 3 thousand year old corpses of the categories of people that the society of our time doesn't seem to want to keep around, and on top of that, we could see CRISPR in our lifetimes.

Quran Chapter 3: Ali' Imran. Verse 185
I liked the way this was addressed in "Transmetropolitan."
In the future, cryogenically-preserved people were revived, given fresh new bodies and sent on their way.
But since none of them had applicable job skills any more and since a lot of them got so freaked out by all the new technology , they ended up unhoused with PTSD just wandering in a daze.
Unhoused?
@@baw5xc333 Yes. If the revived people didn't have any living descendants who would take them in, they were turned out into the world. Since they didn't have any job skills or assets, most ended up living on the streets. There were shelters, but those were as low on resources as current shelters.
Apparently, people in the future still won't care if people without housing just die on the streets as long as their taxes don't go towards helping them.
The creator, Warren Ellis, really nails what a dystopian horror capitalism will produce.
For example, there are "make machines" that are like 3D printers that work on a molecular level. They can make you everything from a hot meal to a cellphone to a suit of clothes. They can make things using "base blocks" which are huge bricks of assorted matter or they can convert trash directly into new things.
The problem is, maker machines don't really produce a lot of trash so trash is hard to find. The poor can't afford to buy maker machines and they can't afford the monthly subscription fee to keep them operational. So the poor buy cheap mas-produced goods that still come in packaging. And people who can afford maker machines aren't likely to go picking up litter in poor neighborhoods.

As someone who'd love to be preserved for the future, I do find it a little disconcerting to potentially become a dead science project, or a future living science project; where you're not treated like a human but a test subject. Even in the event of being perfectly cryo-preserved there's still a chance that business fails left with a bunch of corpses to go who knows where, or someone messes up preserving your body, or natural disaster. Cryo-preserving should not be advertised as future-proofing your existence but an opportunity to offer something more in the future.

Kid named proton decay:
If I think about cryonics too hard I eventually start questioning if I’m the same person that was alive yesterday or did they die last night after falling asleep…
It's a matter of perspective.
I took that one step further, am I the same person as 1 second ago, or an entirely different being with the same memories?
@@danielcreatd872 a time span as short as one second is not long enough for the horrific idea to be possible, but sleep? That is 100% potentially a repeated death-and-rebirth and there is no scientific way to prove whether it is or isn't that:
Suppose that your consciousness IS you. If you "lose consciousness," is this not death, due to losing what is the entirety of Capital Y You? If we accept that it is, then sleeping must by definition of being that thing where you lose consciousness for a while is itself a form of temporary death on the psychological level. Through this hypothetical understanding, you today are different from you yesterday, but have all the same memories, thoughts, feelings, likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams, -SAVE the world,- etc. And since youTube's timestamps tell me your comment was written 20 hours ago, you've probably slept since writing that, which means through this lens, the you that might respond to my existential crisis isn't the you that accidentally prompted me to write this wall of text.
This theory, which comes from fucking Wolfenstein of all things, genuinely keeps me up. I genuinely lose sleep over this idea because I cannot disprove it and it technically makes sense and hey maybe I don't actually want to die???
I would consider that if it weren't for the knowledge that I know that the brain doesn't completely shut off.
So are the same person and didn't die I would otherwise crushing out if there was a moment which I brain shuts off a moment and resets.
Or reboots.
Then I would question myself
Ur own consciousness is still aware of itself so no. If u would have died and a new version of u continued, then u wouldn't know that as u would be dead. But neither would new "you" as it continues from where u left off.
Basically if u are still thinking then u are still here.

Just the thought of your life having no deadline sounds good. When you have limited time in life, you set realistic goals for your life, for example a normal person's bucket list doesn't include getting rich, becoming the best at a certain hobby, trying every food, travelling to every country, learning every language all at the same time. Why? Because people know that by the time you've achieved a single thing out of these, half of your life is already gone. But if you were immortal, you could achieve all of that, and by the time you've done that there's a million more goals to reach. And when doing anything starts getting repetitive you can still wait untill people invent a way to stop the immortality or if that's impossible then just shut off you conciousness.

The fun bit is that there's already been examples of people basically surviving cryogenics; every story of someone falling into a frozen lake or river and getting fished out is basically cryogenics without having to flush the body with glucose to avoid ice crystals. The water under a frozen lake is only about 42 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 10 degrees Celsius, which slows the metabolism enough that people have been documented surviving upwards of 40 minutes at a time without air. Apply that math to the other basic needs, and with an oxygen tube you could probably survive the experience for up to 40 days, add some light intravenous hydration and it could potentially extend to 40 months. Since the cold causes the metabolism to slow without outright freezing the body, cellular processes like aging and division would most likely slow as well.

There's a popular quote:-
"Nothing lasts forever" So will we😊
Trouble with cryonics - our *radioactive bones* constantly damage our tissues. In stasis, this doesn't stop, but the repair processes do. The result, incredible DoT, presenting quite a lot of repair work for the future revivalists.
part of me wants to just react "BONES ARE READIOACTIVE" but yeah with how much potassium we have to eat, and getting it from bananas, yeah I totally believe the human body is radioactive. But I am curious to learn details on bone radioactivity, that sounds very interesting!
@@SnoFitzroy Curiously, bananas are actually a rather weak source of potassium. Tomato paste is the real deal. However, what likes to build up in bone (and teeth!) are radioisotopes of stuff like strontium and radium - really anything chemically similar to calcium (plus some naturally active calcium isotopes), which are collectively known, hilariously, as *bone seekers* , owing to their tendency to build up there.
No biggie, just store your brain sans bones. Besides they have to fix all the ice crystal damage, some radiation blasted DNA would be easy
Damage from endogenous radioisotope decay is a real thing, but would take thousands of years to inflict so much damage that the patient couldn't be recovered. This will be a real issue with interstellar travel, but not with cryonics. No one who's seriously involved with cryonics research thinks that it's going to take anywhere near that long for the technology to do molecular scale cellular repair to be developed and proliferated. Anecdotally, I think the general consensus is that we're looking at less than a century, and possibly considerably less.
"Radioactive bones" my brain got confused on which imagine dragons song it should play in the background of my thoughts.
The soul is already gone while they are frozen. So they waste the time that was available to them and basically all they're doing is putting themselves to sleep until death comes to them. Then they die and leave their bodies. Now that body doesn't have any person in it.

Being revived in a world where everything has changed. Your loved ones are gone. You're the only one thats survived and society is also not the same. I would rather die happy than live there.
Imagine if the people who got frozen could see, and it hurts. They could still think, but they couldn't tell them that it hurts, and that they want to get out. That ladies and gentlemen, is torture.

You can't be frozen until you are pronounced clinically dead so at that point you are a lifeless corpse ur not feeling anything

@@nickv8334 Exactly! People move to new countries with different languages and completely different cultures all the time and manage to thrive. Plus, most cryonicists know other cryonicists, so it's more like relocating your community to another country together.
Some people don't have the mindset to see that as an adventure or the mental agility to adapt to significantly different circumstances. Those people don't tend to sign up for cryonics.
I wouldnt say upoading your brain would make you immortal. Its a copy of you, but not the real you unless the brain is awake in the process and your ''awaken being'' is slowly switched from your brain to the computer
Consciousness is extremely fucky, you could very well argue that the "you" that goes to sleep at night isn't the same "you" that wakes up in the morning.
Tbh I imagine it of kinda "moving" the conciousness from the physical body into a computer. That would be the most complicated part of it all, as we don't fully know how conciousness works. But another idea is "moving" the brain (or if more advanced, conciousness) into a robotic body, that is gonna last longer. And if in the future, we'll somehow acquire unlimited resources, it could continue for a very long time.

Brain is a volatile memory. Volatile memories flush out all information the moment that electricity has been cut off. Same with our brain: The moment our brain dies, and so our soul.
If science find a way to revive a dead body, it would be an empty shell. It would be like an infant without any memory of its past.
For me, the key to immortality is not extending the biological body’s life, but learning the ability to transfer your consciousness into somewhere else.
We are already getting into state where machines gains the ability to read signals from our brain. What we need now is for machines to gain ability to communicate with our senses. Like for example: gaining a third vision from a camera. The moment we learn this, I think that would be the beginning of era of human immortality.
"upload its brain"
Dude, 'I' want to keep living. Not my clone
I would still be dead, but there would be a doppelganger around now. That's completely useless for me (who is still pretty dead)
And they can make thay doppelgänger do what they want it to do, like get information.
Depends on how you define "self". Personally, I define "me" as a continuity of neural connectome, with additional influences from my endocrine system. That's "me". That's what's meaningful, not the specific ball of meat it's instantiated in. There is no "just" a copy. Any copy of me is just as valid and just as "me" as any other.
Not that it really matters in this case, since cryonics doesn't necessarily imply uploading.
