In this episode, Max and Daniel interview philosopher Theodore Schick, Jr of Muhlenberg College and discuss the big philosophical questions behind Cryonics:<ul><li>Is Cryonics a science, a pseudo-science  , or something else entirely? </li><li>What does it mean to preserve your identity? </li><li>Should you be worried about mind-uploading? </li><li>Are humans natural born dualists? </li><li>How might scenarios of the future upend our ethical and philosophical intuitions?</li></ul>We tackle all of these questions and more in a wide-ranging discussion that you should definitely be losing sleep over!
