When I thought the world had a future, I would have opted for cryogenics.
But I am 100% that we are on our way to the big reset button.
Not necessarily extinction, per se. But a societal bottleneck where a man-made catastrophe throws the survivors back technologically and we have to start the climb all over.
Getting past that point to the realm of actually achieving the technology necessary to unfreeze me seems unlikely. So cryogenics is just death with a preserved corpse.
I'll take death. The sooner the better, lately.
i see so you'd live in best of times as much as possible instead of skipping to the great reset. i dont think we can get set back that far simple because of GMO of plants and global trade. also refined metals would still exist. a car engine can rust or break but the engine can be melted into farm equipment. so we are safe from bronze age. id say we would be a cross between iron age with modern tech
