If you were to cryogenically freeze yourself, what system would you devise to determine when to wake you up on your absence ?

 

you wouldn't want to wakeup in the middle of a world-war, but would you want someone else to use his 'best interest' to determine when you wake up ?

It depends on the question which consciousness I will have when being defrozen (meaning:- melt) - my previous or a new one. If I wake up with my "good old" consciousness, I would rather choose myself - before freezing - the "timing" of my wake, but if I get a newly consciousness when waking up, no one can tell what its preferences might be: for example, If it is a warrior's consciousness it might even prefer to be "reborn" in the midst of world war.

as with any good freezin' you'd  be waking up with your own conciousnes.

yet, making the decision yourself is problematic, as at the time of decision-making you don't have enough information to make a good decision. so you could decide to wakeup in '100 years' but a 100 years from now the world is in a nuclear war.

or you could wish to wakeup when 'world peace is achieved' but then you wake up, there's world peace, but earth has also been taken over by aliens.

In this case I will just choose to be awaken only when there is a practicle way to be frozen again (and again) whenever the situation on earth is not nice in my opinion.

I would want to wake up when there is a solution to living forever..or atleast to be frozen again continuosly

I'd freeze myself until the year 3000, where I'd meet a cyclops, a robot, a professor, a lobsterman, a martian, and a Jamaican guy. I'd be the delivery boy for the professor's interstellar shipping service, and we'd go on all kinds of adventures. But then Fox would cancel us before the fifth season and we'd have to show reruns on Cartoon Network for several years. Eventually, Comedy Central would pick up the show and we'd release four straight-to-DVD movies which aren't as epic as the original series but all the fans are so happy to have new content that they all buy the DVDs anyway.
