H-h-h-hi W-w-w-weirdos.  Is it cold in here?  Or am I just CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN?!   TW: death, desecration of a corpse, near death experiences, suicidal ideation & mental health struggles, mention of Hitler, murder trial chat, real gross body stuff   Welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD, the podcast for all things strange and unusual, frigid and freaky, pleasant and possessed and everything in between!   Everytime we get together we talk about something WEIRD and this week is bursting at the seams with strangeness.   First we tackle some "old business" and check in with each other on the KAREN READ RETRIAL-- boy is that getting juicier and juicer by the day-- and Lauren shares a recent strange experience she had with a stick of eyeliner.   Lauren kicks off the main event with A THOUGHT she had about time.  Are there different times of the year, months-weeks-days, that harbor darkness? Why does it pour when it rains?  Why is April the most cursed month in recent human history?  Why do wars begin in August? Our ancestors had rituals to get us through these tougher months-- are we self perpetuating the fear and therefore the trauma?  Could we benefit from ancient rituals to aid us in living through the tougher times?    Then Ashley bursts through the door along with MISS FRIZZLE for some human body mysteries!  Starting off with a phenomenon known as the "Returning Soldier Effect" and we question why more male children are born directly after war.  Several theories have been presented, but it's still quite the mystery.    Then we move on to FROZEN PEOPLE starting with the story of Jean Hillard who spent 6 hours freezing in the snow back in 1980 and SURVIVED!! Then we wrap up the episode discussing CRYONICS and the dangers of cryogenically freezing your body in the hopes of being reanimated when the technology catches up to the theoretical science in the future.   Don't miss out on the end of episode TAROT CARD reading for more insights in today's show.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Refactoring cryonics as structural brain preservation, published by Andy McKenzie on September 11, 2024 on LessWrong. I first learned about cryonics when I read Eliezer and Robin's posts about it on Overcoming Bias years ago. I got cryopilled. Somewhat amazingly to me, I'm now a researcher in this field. So I thought this community might be interested to know that I was one of several co-authors on a paper just published in Frontiers in Medical Technology, titled "Structural brain preservation: a potential bridge to future medical technologies". In this paper, we propose reframing cryonics as a type of structural brain preservation, focusing on maintaining the brain's physical structure that encodes memories and personality, rather than making the focus about low-temperature storage per se. We explore what brain structures likely need to be preserved to retain long-term memories and other valued aspects of personal identity. We then review different methods of brain preservation, including cryopreservation, aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation, fluid preservation, and fixation followed by polymer embedding. The paper also discusses the two most commonly discussed potential future revival technologies, i.e. molecular nanotechnology and whole brain emulation. We argue that this structural preservation framing may be more technically grounded and agreeable to mainstream researchers than some of the traditional ways that cryonics has been discussed. As a personal reflection here, I want to briefly discuss the idea of fluid preservation, which is one topic discussed in our review paper. I remember first reading about this idea in approximately 2017 on a cryonics mailing list. Even though I was already sold on the idea of aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation -- using fixation as a short-term bridge to cryoprotection and cryopreservation, I remember thinking that the idea of simply leaving the brain in fixative solution for the long-term was bizarre and outlandish. Around 2020-2022, I spent a good amount of time researching different options for higher temperature (and thus lower cost) brain preservation. Mostly I was looking into different methods for embedding fixed brain tissue in polymers, such as paraffin, epoxy, acrylates, or silicon. I also studied the options of dehydrated preservation and preserving the fixed brain in the fluid state, which I was mostly doing for the sake of completeness. To be clear, I certainly don't want to make it seem like this was a lone wolf effort or anything. I was talking about the ideas with friends and it was also in the zeitgeist. For example, John Smart wrote a blog post in 2020 about this, titled "Do we need a noncryogenic brain preservation prize?" (There still is no such prize.) In 2022, I was reading various papers on brain preservation (as one does), when I came across Rosoklija 2013. If I recall correctly, I had already seen this paper but was re-reading it with a different eye. They studied human and monkey brain tissue that had been preserved in formalin for periods ranging from 15 months to 55 years, using the Golgi-Kopsch silver staining method to visualize neuronal structures. They reported that even after 50 years of formalin fixation at room temperature, the method yielded excellent results. In particular, they had this figure: That's a picture showing well-impregnated neurons with preserved dendritic spines. Looking at this picture was a viewquake for me. I thought, if fluid preservation can preserve the structure of the 1-5% of cells that are stained by the Golgi-Kopsch method, why not other cells? And if it can work in this one part of the brain, why not the whole brain? And if it can do it for 50 years, why not 100 or 150? Chemically, it is not clear why there would be differences across the tissue. Aldehydes crosslin...

The Unexplained With Howard Hughes

After a recent London newspaper story we speak with Dennis Kowalski – who heads Cryonics Inc. in Michigan – It freezes people in liquid nitrogen after their death in the hope they can one day be “revived...” Some people have been there for 50 years... It's always controversial – we talk through the process and the issues...

Cryonics is the practice of freezing someone who has died in the hopes of reviving them in the future when science and medicine has advanced enough that this would be possible. You've probably heard that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen and is stored beneath the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride at Disneyland, but is there any truth to this? With anything that could be considered this strange, there are plenty of myths and legends. Today, we'll go over the Walt Disney cryonics legend, early attempts at cryopreservation, and some horror stories of early cryonics patients.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Witness, published by Richard Ngo on December 4, 2023 on LessWrong. "What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images-" I wake up, feeling a strange sense of restlessness. I'm not sure why, but it feels impossible to lounge around in bed like I usually do. So I get changed and head down to the kitchen for breakfast. Right as I reach the bottom of the stairs, though, the bell rings. When I open the door, a tall man in a dark suit is standing in front of me. "Police," he says, holding up a badge. "Don't worry, you're not in trouble. But we do need to talk. Okay if I come in?" "One second," I say. "I know everyone in the department, and I don't recognize you. You new?" "Yeah, just transferred," he says. But something in his eyes makes me wary. And none of the cops around here wear suits. "Got it," I say, squinting at his badge. "Travis, is it? Just wait outside for me, then, while I call the station to double-check. Can't be too careful these days." As I push the door closed, I see his face twist. His hand rises, and - is he snapping his fingers? I can't quite make it out before I wake up, feeling better than I have in decades. It usually takes me half an hour to get out of bed, these days, but today I'm full of energy. I'm up and dressed within five minutes. Right as I reach the bottom of the stairs, though, the bell rings. When I open the door, a tall man in a dark suit is standing in front of me. "Police," he says, holding up a badge. "Don't worry, you're not in trouble. But we do need to talk. Okay if I come in?" "Sure," I say. A lot of other defense attorneys see the police as enemies, since we usually find ourselves on the other side of the courtroom from them, but I've found that it pays to have a good working relationship with the local department. Though I don't recognize the man in front of me - and actually, he seems way too well-dressed to be a suburban beat cop. Maybe a city detective? He deftly slides past me and heads straight for my living room, pulling up a chair. He's talking again before I even sit down. "This will sound totally crazy, so I'm going to start off with two demonstrations." He picks up a book from the table and tosses it into the air. Before I have a chance to start forward, though, it just… stops. It hangs frozen, right in the middle of its arc, as I gawk at it. "I - what-" "Second demonstration," he says. "I'm going to make you far stronger. Ready?" Without waiting for a response, he snaps his fingers, and gestures at the table in front of him. "Try lifting that up, now. Shouldn't take more than one hand." His voice makes it clear that he's used to being obeyed. I bend down reflexively, grabbing one leg of the table and giving it a tug - oh. It comes up effortlessly. My mind flashes back to a show I saw as a child, with a strongman lifting a table just like this. This is eerily familiar, and yet also totally bizarre. I put the table down and collapse into a chair next to it. "Okay, I'm listening. What the hell is going on?" "Remember signing up for cryonics a few years back?" I nod cautiously. I don't think about it much - I signed up on a whim more than anything else - but I still wear the pendant around my neck. "Well, it worked. You died a couple of weeks after your most recent memory, and were frozen for a century. Now we've managed to bring you back." I pause for a second. It's an insane story. But given what he's shown me - wait. "That doesn't explain either of your demonstrations, though. Cryonics is one thing; miracles are another." "Almost nobody has physical bodies these days. We copied your brain neuron-by-neuron, ran some error-correction software, and launched it in a virtual environment." "So you're telling me I...
