Re: Giving cryo talk to Jewish high school

Just a quick note: The talk went very well. Apparently they has already
watched a Discovery channel documentary on Alcor and had been through my
Web site.

In addition to the teacher, two other rabbis sat in. They both kept nodding
in agreement, and seemed very receptive. The main focus was cryonics, but I
covered superlongevity and put everything in an extropian context. The
questions were intelligent and friendly. One student actually asked how he
could join ExI.

They videotaped the class, so they can show it in future, though I will
probably go back and do it again. It's such a pleasure to find active young
minds willing to listen, think, and engage.

The day I am invited to speak at Bob Jones University, I will think that
we're making *real* progress!

Onward!

Max
