Is cryonics basically a Jewish operation? I wonder. I've bumped into Jewish people in cryonics over the years, of course, as well as non-overt indeterminate people of various kinds but I wonder if, in fact, not only cryonics, but the basic questions I originally asked myself about life and death, might have been directed by Jewish thought rather than Christian or Deist thinking. For example, an interesting book I read in first year university was "Man's Search for Meaning"... at no less than a Mennonite College, written by Victor Frankyl, a Jew. Now that I'm looking at quantum physics from what I consider to be a quantum mystic point of view of mind-body dualism, and having been kicked out of reddit/cronics for discussion of this, the strict radical empiricism & determinism aspect of cryonics is appearing to me to be more at-least-consistent with non-god-type Jewish thought than what I proposed in 2001 as Classical humanism consistent with Greek thought. Then I think of Ettinger and Kent and Pizer, all cryonics leaders... and Jews.
