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?

Being panicky in potentially life threatening situations can make you bad at surviving the situation
Then, as it turns out, being dead makes you bad at having babies
Those who remain calm in life threatening situations and survive are better at having babies than their dead comrades!
This means that more people have ancestors that remained calm in these situations, and since they’d be genetically similar to their ancestors, it means the portion of the population with these genetic traits will likely increase
Basically, it’s a trait of remaining calm and cool under pressure, which is helpful for living, which is helpful for having babies
