"Have you ever watched Sean Carroll? He's really good at explaining the Many Worlds theory of quantum mechanics."

"Yes... but I'm not convinced it's a real thing. I mean, there is no way we can observe these alternate quantum realities anyway."

"I think our consciousness flows in a certain direction preferentially. We'll take the quantum path that preserves our consciousness. That's why I think cryonic suspension is more likely to work than it first appears. Will you admit that it's at least possible?"

"OK. I will admit that. Granted, cryonics relies on us inventing technology in the future - so I can't assign a probability to it working now. It's probably non-zero, though."

"Exactly. Even if it's only 1%, it's worth a shot. However, I think that our conscious minds will definitely follow a path where we continue to exist - as long as we give it a viable path to follow. This is perhaps the first time in human history where the mind could be preserved this way, thanks to cryonics. Because it can be - I think it will be. I also find it highly coincidental that we happen to live in such an age where indefinite life span is perhaps first possible."

"Well now you are just going off on a philosophical tangent. None of it is provable."

"What if this life is an ancestor simulation or just a training program for learning about how the universe works? Someone has to think about these things. Either way, I'm gettin' frozen when I croak. I want to see the future!"
