It would be interesting to know what you were studying and at what graduate level as well as how many years ago you were studying.

Personal study and interest in mainly quantum mechanics, some aspects of mathematical physics mainly related to such for about the past 50 years or so along with some electronics projects etc. - about my entire whole purpose and meaning in life along with some periods of surfing of about total of 20 years. For most all of that time involved no alcohol consumption except for around a 8 or so year period in Philippines , Thailand and no drug use except mainly since 2006 or so when discovered could buy Tramadol over the counter no questions asked in most local pharmacies in Puerto Rico where i was living for around 9 years.

Wow, very heavy studies-most impressive.

So Zmth,

You don't believe in reincarnation then? You believe the only answer is this 'cryogenics'?

Why?

Good advice PR,

Buttt...He's an Adult, making his own choices. Perhaps what you really mean is that he can do the hell what he likes, as long as you don't have to have him telling everyone on a Forum, which most likely mostly disagrees with what Zmith proposes??

I wonder what the forum owners think about this latest admission from Zmth. It does sound grim, indeed.

Is he in control, or does he need help? Is Zmth a worrysome poster, and should local help be initiated?

What about his own rights and choices, though? Personally i do not like what he is saying, but i do not feel it is my job to 'save him'. I wonder if anyone else can, that is if he allows it??

Anyone??

"but i do not feel it is my job to 'save him'. I wonder if anyone else can, that is if he allows it??"

First he is 69, certainly old enough to make such a decision. Our liking or not liking will not and should never enter into his decision. Secondly do we really know what we are "saving" him from ? Let him gather a few happy moments in Shitsville before he puts his master plan in action.

In none of his posts did I detect a plea for help. Granted he does sound like a hapless tourist from time to time but always quite rational.

was a mistake in double posts so deleted.

What is the meaning of an " answer " ? To what ? I don't believe in reincarnation probably because I am not superstitious. As far as the cryogenics I don't really think there is much better than a 1 out of a million chance that I may be restored at sometime in the future with memories. It is like a bet such
that if one had to pay $100,000 for a one out of a million chance to win a trillion dollars then you better take it because it is 10 to 1 in your favor. The break even point is if the pay out were 100 billion I think. So if you think the chance is 1 out of a million and the value of being brought back into the future is more than
100 billion then it is a good bet. If the chance were one out of a billion then it would have to be worth more than 10E+17 for you to be brought back in the future i think and so on though there could be a possible error in the arithmetic calculations.

Interesting. I wonder if the poster on another forum is also him or if they are just using his image.

he has posted on the other forum before

Oh, yes, I realised he has posted on the other forum, I meant another forum other than that one and he has confirmed it below referring to quantum mechanics. It was in a thread on a forum discussing such matter that I have seen his image and also in two other places on the net.

Certainly he is someone with sufficient intelligence to use logic to rationalise and intellectualise his own demise by his own hand, at a time and in a place, using a method of exit all of his own choosing. Whether that logic is the product of a sound mind is another question. I don't have the answer but I have some understanding of the thought process behind it and some empathy with someone who see that as their course of action.

When I was in my early twenties, I had a conversation with a friend about a subject we termed "Logical Suicide". In essence it was the arriving at the decision to self-terminate by use of logic, using current circumstances and prognosis as the factors in the decision making. However, one of the key factors of all this is that it was being done with a sound mind. No mental health issues, such as depression etc, driving the decision making. I would say there is a significant chance that is how my demise will come about and I'll give a for instance. I won't actually die of cancer. Just will not happen. I may receive the diagnosis but it won't be the top line on my death certificate.

The last time I entered Cambodia, I didn't really intend to leave except in a bag or an urn but my head was fucked at the time so the decision making I referred to above was fundamentally flawed. Fortunately, I met people who, in their different ways, made me realise the folly of my thoughts. I was lucky to meet a couple of people in particular who, I'm sure, have no clue how much I owe them. As I say, I was lucky, many go to Cambodia and meet the wrong people and get no help.

Hopefully, zmth, you are entirely compos mentis and think again about what you are thinking about. Perhaps you should get the fuck out of dodge, get back to the States(?) and enjoy more of life because when it is over it is over for ever. As I once read about what is it like after death, it's just like that time before you were born. Fuck all. Nothing. Nada. No reincarnation, no defrosted heads in jars or on cyborg bodies.

I look at it this way, by all means do it
