"For people that believe Cryonics is overwhelmingly a libertarian pursuit - this data suggests otherwise." True but it's also true that the percentage of cryonicists who are libertarian is FAR higher than in the general population.
Based on the results so far, perhaps we should focus on autistic atheists working in STEM. :-)
That's a good point. Compared to the general population, Libertarians of various flavors are highly overrepresented among Cryonicists. I've seen different figures but that general category of beliefs is probably between 1 and 5% of the population (in the US), depending on how strictly you want to define it.
Thank you for all the work in doing this. It would be great if someone would put online the two (more?) previous surveys from times past. The late 1980s survey that I co-created is available in Cryonics magazine but could be put in more accessible format.

let me know where those can be found and I'll add an edit to this article with the links.
“The Alcor Survey.” in Cryonics #110, 111 (vol.10, Nos.9, 10), September-October 1989.

I don't recall where to find the more recent one.

I certainly think maybe we have enough surveys for a meta-analysis now....that would be extra useful
Well done!
