Comment by jeff_davis on We really need a "cryonics sales pitch" article. · 2015-08-12T07:39:28.242Z · LW · GW

"You're acting like there's a logical, well thought out argument against cryonics, but most people are acting on some perfectly reasonable heuristics that basically boil down to: "I'm not gonna pay crazy people ridiculous amounts of money for something that's impossible.""

Exactly right except for the "perfectly reasonable heuristics". Should be "...seemingly reasonable but in fact faulty heuristics..." Otherwise they wouldn't end up with "crazy people": not; ridiculous amounts of money: not; and "something that's impossible": not.
