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

956 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?

Wasn’t Kübler-Ross who speculated that *afraidnessless* could be like a desperate yoga to allow the brain a few extra precious seconds of air and blood. Like a reflex switch kind of “i’m gonna die, let’s switch it all off and see what happens”. I don’t know if that’s 100% evolution-wise, but it somehow makes sense
