Two Davids

I read, with interest, in a recent issue of The Immortalist, David Pizer's recommendation to speculate in real estate in your area based on rumors of a Six Flags venture.

David Pizer replies:

I hate to call it a recommendation.

Should the Cryonics Institute decide on such land speculation and accept foreign participants, I would be interested in buying a piece of the action. BTW, I'll be visiting Miami on Dec. 1524 for a conference there.

I doubt if it would be considered safe enough for a cryonics company investment. But gamblers might want to take a small chance here. Especially if you were using money you could afford to lose.

Editor's note: David, (Devor) I'm just the editor here, but based on past experience CI does not want to get into other ventures. Its only purpose in life is to freeze and store those frozen. The only departure so far has been to accept tissue samples for freezing from members. Why don't you write to Pizer himself?? (Pizer is located in Arizona,, I'm in Florida..)

Sorry to bother you again, but have you an email address for him? I was thinking that if you published my letter, it might get some echoes. If the entry cost is low enough and the upside very great, even Prof. Ettinger might think it worth doing in some kind of framework if not the C.I. itself. It does sound like a rare opportunity.

I am not sure this is a good investment for a group of people who don't know each other. I am not an expert at putting groups together. There is some risk here.
