For most people, childhood is like a rushing river, and we are merely small creatures drifting along with the current. This river is not one we chose for ourselves—it was shaped by our parents, society, and various circumstances. We are taught how to navigate the flow, told which goals are worth pursuing, but rarely encouraged to reflect on our own direction. Our job is not to question but to follow the established rules and strive to achieve the version of success defined for us. Many—especially those who enjoy contemplating life—eventually find themselves flowing from this river into a pond called “college.” While we may have some say in choosing which pond we land in, the differences between them are often superficial. Within this pond, we gain more freedom to explore different interests, start looking around, and notice the edges of the pond—the world beyond, where we will spend the rest of our lives. However, this newfound awareness is often accompanied by uncertainty and anxiety....
Around six million years ago, an important female great ape gave birth to two offspring. One of her children eventually became the common ancestor of all modern chimpanzees, while the other gave rise to a lineage that would eventually lead to humanity. As time passed, the descendants of the first child followed a more typical evolutionary path, while the other lineage underwent a remarkable transformation. For reasons we don't fully understand, over millions of years, our ancestors began to develop in a way that no other creatures on Earth had—slowly becoming aware of their surroundings. It was a gradual process, much like the way we slowly wake up in the morning, and as consciousness grew, our ancestors started to wonder. For the first time, they began to question their place in the world. What is the nature of the space they inhabit, and who created it? What was the purpose of the sun, and why did it disappear every night? What happens when you reach the edge of the ocean? And wh...
When people hear the word cryonics , their first instinct often lies somewhere between science fiction and disbelief. The idea of preserving the human body at ultra-low temperatures with the hope of future revival seems too far-fetched to take seriously. Yet, as science advances at a breakneck pace, the concept of cryopreservation begins to gain traction—not merely as fantasy but as a calculated risk in the face of death. For those who believe that human life holds value beyond the moment of expiration, cryonics is not just a dream; it’s a rational extension of hope 🌌. Think of a person who suffers from an illness that modern medicine can’t yet cure. Just a few decades ago, diseases like smallpox and polio claimed millions of lives. Today, they are relics of the past thanks to advances in biotechnology and medical research . What if, instead of accepting death as an absolute, we could simply pause the body—put it on hold—until science catches up? This is the essence of cryonics: not ...
