    One thing we can all agree on, I hope, is that this technology must never, never be made accessible to the west (until imperialism as a world system is thoroughly defeated, decolonization within the imperial cores is under way, and capital is on its way out as well).

    While it’s just a step closer towards viable cryogenics, if such a possibility becomes available to the neocons, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it may as well be all Joever (for the rest of humanity).

      I think we’re still safe on that for now. Not to downplay what i’m sure is an impressive scientific achievement, and admittedly i’m no expert on this subject, but usually these kinds of articles tend to get a little ahead of themselves with the scifi predictions, at least they do in my field. But i appreciate how optimistic the author is.

    If they manage to revive Joe Biden’s brain - they’ll have achieved peak science.

        When you get out and start talking to people and doing things again, you’ll shake off the rust. I’ve gone through multiple periods of cognitive decline and recovery because of depression.

          I know you mean well but that’s why we do those things already. But yeah it’s always sound advice to have a hobby to connect with others.

      We will preserve it in pure psilocybin extract for good measure.
