Why do our brains release these ‘chemicals’ that make us not afraid in our last moments?

831 views

I’ve heard of people with near death experiences having these calm, soothing experiences. It’s lovely that our brains do this for us.
I know there’s a natural selection, those with the best characteristics continued, and those who didn’t have the qualities to survive would pass away. But everyone dies in the end. What made it so that all brains release those chemicals to ease our last moments?

It could also be an unintentional scaling issue. Endorphins from pain, makes sense. Same things that may signal chemically that pain is occuring(even if not specifically pain) may cause a rapid release of these same chemicals. Why dmt like chemicals then, possible misinterpretation that we are falling asleep(would be rather poetic), or possibly that the same wiring to cause the brain to assume repair is needed are happening, again just at a much more intense scale
