SovietOmega 03/20/21 10:09:06 PM #12:	Biological certainly makes the most intuitive sense, however that implies a certain continuity of life. If you have a conversation with someone and they mention they are 50 years old, you naturally form some opinions based on knowledge of the average 50 year old person. If they say they are 50 but have actually spent 500 years of that time frozen, suddenly any cultural basis you might have to base any opinion of them is going to be completely shot. But then chronological has its share of flaws too, as society is not structured to consider that kind of a gap in stasis. Could a 5 year old emerge after 100 years of being frozen and get senior discounts? It is an issue that a future society will figure out if it becomes an important enough issue to do so. What might make some sense is to introduce a third age, denoting time lived since being unfrozen. If a prospective future conversationalist hears someone who looks 50 say they are 5 years post-cryo, then you could assume they've had some time to adjust to a new society and whatnot and can adjust accordingly. But none of this will matter because our robot overlords will be eternal, and weaknesses of the flesh will be discarded as we absorb ourselves into becoming part of the great machine. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out <cite>SovietOmega posted [p:951934918] in Cryogenics...
