On p. 291 of Doug Matzke's "Deep Reality" [2018] he defines "quantum perspective" in the glossary as a few of the very small at the subatomic/atomic particle size scale where all entities are discrete (quantized) packets and states look probabilisitc and potentially entangled".
As I read that, it occurred to me that cryonics lacks that perspective. Cryonics attempts to hold molecules in place for eventual reanimation of the mind and in some cases, the body too. However, if the human mind is a quantum computer as Matzke explains, then it's not possible, in principle, to freeze a probability in place. This is, I think, a possible falsification of the cryonics thesis. This falsification doesn't even require that the mind is "off site" and being transmitted to a brain-as-antenna. It merely requires that the human mind is a quantum phenomenon. Cryonics lacks a quantum perspective. Using a blunt expression applied to non-buying customers that cryonicist Dave Pizer used in business, I now think, as a result of the lack of the quantum perspective, that cryonics is "no good".
