Most people approach death with resignation or spirituality, but there's a third path: treating it as an engineering problem with probabilistic solutions. This topic exists because cultural defaults around death aren't optimized for your actual survival. If you can shift from "death is natural and inevitable" to "death is a technical challenge with uncertain but non-zero solutions," the math changes completely. A 1% chance of revival dominates 0% chance of anything, and accepting permanent cessation because cryopreservation seems weird is just status quo bias with higher stakes. By reframing death through an engineering lens and taking expected value seriously, you can evaluate whether the rational move is to try something uncertain or accept certain oblivion.
