  • Cognitive biases contributing to emotional prejudice in favor of cryonics (optimistic bias, motivated cognition).
  • The multiply chained nature of the probabilities involved in cryonics, and whether the final expected utility is worth the cost.
  • Money spent on cryonics could, arguably, be better spent on efficient charity.
  • S-risks/hyperexistential risks; The far future may turn out to be dystopian and have negative expected value.
