just to outline this fictitious would you rather, you rich enough to retire cryogenic preservation is perfect. you could live out the rest of your life in retirement and see the world evolve “like god intended”, or you can adopt cryogenic lifestyle where you freeze yourself for however long you want and stay thawed for however long you want but your still a human with natural human lifespan so you will eventually die.

of course contingencies are allowed if you think something cataclysmic will happened you can be dethawed abruptly and considering future medicines to extend your lifespan is allowed

    being rich is not the solution to rising ocean waters, fascist dictatorships and weapons stockpiling.

    stop idolizing billionaires. they’re garbage human beings.

      Op said rich enough to retire. That is defined as having enough money to not work again, not worry about food, medical, entertainment, transportation, being able to take a couple vacations a year and travel how the individual wants (maybe that’s by first class on Delta Airlines, maybe it’s just by driving), not having to go into a nursing home and getting treated like crap when you can’t live alone anymore.

      Being rich enough to retire is different then being ultra wealthy as a billionaire.

        the premise is freezing yourself with passive income. “so you can retire” is bullshit. OP means become wealthy. you’re a billionaire apologist and you should be ashamed. banned from my instance.

          Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. You’re reading stuff into it that just plain doesn’t exist.

          On a side note : reading through your history is quite the experience.
