just to outline this fictitious would you rather, you rich enough to retire cryogenic preservation is perfect. you could live out the rest of your life in retirement and see the world evolve "like god intended", or you can adopt cryogenic lifestyle where you freeze yourself for however long you want and stay thawed for however long you want but your still a human with natural human lifespan so you will eventually die.

of course contingencies are allowed if you think something cataclysmic will happened you can be dethawed abruptly and considering future medicines to extend your lifespan is allowed

I don't believe we have the tech yet, so I'm not gonna trust any such thing, its probabky snake oil.

But assuming that regulatory bodies around the world has already certified and approved it (meaning the ~~"dethaw"~~ "unfreezing" part has already been solved and is working), I would probably skip like 5 years at a time, watch all the TV shows and movies, then skip 5 years, repeat...

Otherwise, I wouldn't touch that thing with a meter stick. Snake oil.

it's not solved, it's just companies saying that they think it will be solved in the future
