I realise that I said "freezing" in the introduction, and then get corrected later on in the video. I didn't notice until I got to the edit, so it had to stay in!
-
the idea of a trust fund for your own dead corpse where generations of people will work to preserve it is very pharaoh-like
-
I like that the CEO specifies that it's a research procedure, not a medical procedure.
-
Imagine someone who was once inside that freezer watching this video after 500 years.
-
I'd feel weird waking up knowing that my family and friends of today could potentially have been dead for hundreds of years. On the other hand this would allow me to know what happened to them as oppose to not knowing at all if there's no afterlife.
-
But when I freeze a dead body in my fridge, I go to jail. This isn't fair
-
As a person who has never been frozen at -196°C, I agree.
-
This is the epitome of "So you're telling me there's a chance."
-
wastelander in year 2504: “hey boss look! The boys and I found a bunch of preserved bodies frozen in some tube, gonna be eating good tonight!”
-
Never thought we'd see a home freezer tour from Tom but here we are.
-
Imagine being one major recession away from getting thrown out like a freezer burnt chicken.
-
Imagine waking up in 500 years and dying again 2 days later because you still have cancer...
-
"Ok, one more video before bed" The video:
-
Tom straight up showed us where he hid the bodies and expected us not to notice
-
Tom in a thousand years: This is the pod where I was frozen and now I'm going to be a delivery boy.

“People chasing money and losing their health, and using their money to chase health; Preparing for a future they will never see and forgetting the present, and Living like they’ll never die, and dying like they never lived.”

I live in Germany and had the experience of going to the exhibition and programme "UN_ENDLICH" (IN_FINITE) from the Humboldt Forum. It was all about death and how we live with it. You got to see a very wide variety of perspectives, be it religious or scientific, and this cryonics company was part of it. Insanely interesting stuff.
-
Tom, you've shown us a lot of really cool places in this series, but -196°C is definitely one of the coolest...
-
Tom is really trying to make the most existential crisis inducing videos before he takes his break.
-
What i want to know is why do these people think their business will last. If you freeze someone,what happens to them if the company that does the freezing goes BUST.
