Recent studies (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/02/new-science-of-death-brain-activity-consciousness-near-death-experience) show that the brain is furious with activity in the minutes after death. Areas of the brain that don’t generally work together suddenly team up, and the visual cortex is particularly active.

If your brain is going to show you a burst of images immediately after the rest of your body has checked out, what would you want to see? Avi Lieu (@avi.lieu) and Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) are in on this one.

1
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.039
Okay, welcome to one good question
our Friday episode. This one is a

2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.760
deep one and I came up with
this one myself, but it's a I

3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.399
think it's a pretty good question,
and we're going to try to like be

4
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.519
very succinct in our answers to this
question. But we could probably have done

5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.199
a whole, you know, full
episode on this sucker. So the question

6
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:33.600
is this, like what happens to
your brain when you die? And the

7
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.520
answer seems to be that that that
in the minutes after you die, there

8
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.479
is a ton of additional activity in
your brain. There's like all this electrical

9
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.479
stuff going on. Connections get made
that were not made before. Things start

10
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.000
to move in tandem. It's this
whole like crazy experience that's going on MT

11
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.840
right. Yeah, maybe no,
I think so DMT releases, I think

12
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.000
when you die potentially, Yeah,
there's nothing about that in anything I've read

13
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:06.439
so far. So the question is
what would you like to be running through

14
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.920
your head? Oh shit, that's
a damn when you die? Like what

15
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.640
do you see? What would you
want to see? Not what? Yeah,

16
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.719
I mean I think that I'm pretty
damn sure DAMNT releases when you die

17
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.719
and humans and it releases at other
times in different animals. But that's why

18
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.879
that's like supposedly the bright light because
DMPT is a loose in the gin and

19
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.519
obviously depending on your receptors and how
much you release, shit, I want

20
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.719
to see and feel nothing. That's
my goal. My goal is blank blank,

21
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.120
Yeah. I mean, if there's
heaven, i'd love to see the

22
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.719
gates. If there is not heaven, then I'd love to see no pain

23
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.519
and no sadness. So it's essentially
like the end of the Sopranos. I've

24
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.560
never seen Sopranos, but yeah,
yeah, I just just like, yeah,

25
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.239
I just go to black. I'd
rather see that than like see the

26
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.400
demons I see every day or think
about or whatever. Yeah, for sure,

27
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.879
not the demon. You hope the
end is good and better than I

28
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.560
mean, whether you believe in Christianity
or whatever you believe in, the thing

29
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.960
is that like you suffer now to
do good things later and like live this

30
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.560
reality that's so up and down,
so then you can come to peace or

31
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.879
enlightenment or whatever later. So yeah, I hope it's bright lights to a

32
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.599
gaate or what about a slight like
just a bunch of dogs. Yeah,

33
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.080
So if the gates are there.
I'm opening that gate and it's just fucking

34
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:31.199
puppies. It's just buffets and puppies
and they're licking your face and puffs.

35
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.400
Yeah, we're not eating dogs.
Maybe it's a vegan buffet. Maybe it's

36
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.560
turned vegan in the afterlife. No, I don't do that after life.

37
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.159
Then that means you're in hell.
Might like taste I might not have like

38
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.639
taste buds or nothing. That's crazy. You just said vegans belong in hell.

39
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.599
Yeah, our vegan base just lost
them. Have to apologize to that

40
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.280
very large ginger man later. What
you got, habby? I agree.

41
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.240
I don't really I don't have any
religious beliefs or anything. I don't really

42
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.479
want to see anything. I don't
want to think anything. I don't Some

43
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.919
people could say, like you want
to see your best memories? Yeah,

44
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.639
so like sure, but people say
your eyes right right, and maybe it's

45
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.879
like the happiest moments before it fades
to black. I don't know what that

46
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.000
how realistic that is? Maybe I
got to try d m T. That's

47
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.759
a great idea. How many people
do it? And then and then we'll

48
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.039
actually just kidding. But yeah,
I don't know. What do you have,

49
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.240
Jim, I was hit sea baths
first, because you go first,

50
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:46.800
you have very specific, probably just
my fondest memories, that's it. Yeah,

51
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:55.360
And then a final tier, straight
face pour the mine is very specific

52
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:01.479
because my whole life. I heard
the story about when my mom's dad died,

53
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.039
which was before I was born.
She was a teenager when he died,

54
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:11.439
and on his deathbed, as he's
dying, he's saying it just keeps

55
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.520
getting brighter and brighter, and that
I always they always thought that that many

56
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.319
was going to have and I seriously
doubt that, just because because the stories

57
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:27.240
I heard, other stories I heard. But then when my when my mom

58
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:36.360
died, she uh, she had
been on oxygen because her ones were being

59
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:42.160
squeezed by fluid in her chest cavity
anyway, so you know, they eventually

60
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.480
said, you have to take that
off because she's not going to survive anyway,

61
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.040
and we're just flogging her and whatever. So what she said is he

62
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:54.079
said, I see all my babies
around me, and like the way she

63
00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:00.360
said it, it was ones that
hadn't even been born yet, what like

64
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.560
grandkids. Yeah, yeah, oh
yes, because she did not have any

65
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.680
grandkids at the point. Yeah,
yeah, she died. Yeah, she

66
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.279
was kind of like she saw kind
of everything, and uh, I don't

67
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.959
know specifically exactly what I want to
see, but I want it to be

68
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.759
as good as that. Yeah,
I was thinking that, Like, it

69
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.759
doesn't have to be something that you
have seen before already. It could be

70
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.439
the answer to the universe or something
I want to see, like what aliens

71
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.759
look like when I die, you
know, like what do they look like?

72
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.480
Or what planet they're on? Who
really shot Kennedy? Yeah? Yeah,

73
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.600
yeah, exactly, things like that, just that man's face, Like,

74
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.720
okay, got it, you know
the answers, but yeah, like

75
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.279
that's that is a deep one.
What your mom said. I've heard similar

76
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.480
things. I forgot who maybe it
might have been one of my aunts or

77
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.680
somebody been around, someone passed away, but you see like their family has

78
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.519
yeah, like family, Yeah,
like the ones for them, like their

79
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.560
parents who had already passed or whatever. Oh, kind of waiting there or

80
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.800
whatever. It's an experience. I
don't recommend it, but that's an experience

81
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.360
for sure. Yeah, I'm good
why being there being there? Actually,

82
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.680
I'll go I don't want to see
anything. I like it to be black

83
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.759
and I just want to hear Oh, I want to hear what people like

84
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.759
you? Do? You want the
soundtrack of your your memorial service? Yes,

85
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.439
people say about you do. I
like hearing. I like listening mm

86
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.120
hmm. I just want to see
that's interesting for a video guy. Yeah,

87
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:31.560
maybe you're maybe you're maybe a sound
Yeah, I don't know. I

88
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.639
don't want to think about it.
You don't like thinking about death. I

89
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.759
don't love it, but I don't
love it. I like thinking about deep

90
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.240
stuff. I don't mind deep stuff, but death. Death is that is

91
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.759
one of those deep things, ultimate
deep, I know. But it's coming

92
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.279
regardless I think about it or not. Yeah, And that's why I don't

93
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.759
care what happens after it's inevitable,
Like maybe what if it's bad after that?

94
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.120
What is bad after? Like?
What am I going to do about

95
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.399
it? Now? You're the one
that wants to think about it, But

96
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:00.879
I don't even want to think about
it. No, but I'm saying like

97
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.639
it doesn't like I don't. I
don't care to think about it because even

98
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.399
if it is bad, what am
I going to do about it now?

99
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.120
Or nothing? That's why I don't
want to think about it, because you

100
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.040
can't do anything about it. Yeah, A different method the same results.

101
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.839
Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, because I don't know what the fuck's

102
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.600
gonna happen, that's yeah. I
just hope nothing happens. Some kook on

103
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.160
the internet and I don't know.
Maybe he's a smart guy, but he

104
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.600
says if you I think, fuck, what was the stat I think he

105
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.480
said, if you live to whatever
year, you know, twenty forty or

106
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.279
something, you'll be able to live
like two hundred years twenty forty or something

107
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.199
like that. I skewed that,
butcher the fuck beause something of that.

108
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.240
We're coming because of the deck technology. Yeah, because we're gonna upload to

109
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.000
the fucking internet. But do you
want to do that? Yeah, we're

110
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.480
going to be web for our consciousness
is web four. I want to go.

111
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.639
That's what altered carbon is altered carbon. There's a number of things like

112
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.920
that where you just don't you just
don't die altered carbon. I want to

113
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:07.639
die. I think quick. He
wants to no. But they talk about

114
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.920
you know, where does your consciousness
going and your soul? Yeah, what

115
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.439
happens to your brain? I was
going to ask you explained it, but

116
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.480
I was gonna ask, like your
brain or your consciousness, your soul or

117
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.199
whatever you believe in because some people
be born. Yeah, and some people

118
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.959
don't believe you have one. The
very long article that I read yesterday about

119
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.240
this, because I'm looking over your
shore one right now. This is a

120
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:37.919
summary. Basically, some people think
that it is a validation of the idea

121
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.480
that your soul is a separate thing
from your body. There your brain.

122
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.919
I want my soul to rest as
well, say rest instead of that.

123
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.639
Most of our who at least we
regard as a great philosopher or whatever,

124
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.120
all I think that is the case. Yeah, right, so and all

125
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.360
most religions believe that's the case.
And then the science philosophers believe that's the

126
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.440
case. So it's kind of hard
to argue it's not. Wait, what

127
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.879
isn't that well, because basically our
brains are just like really good computers,

128
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:16.000
right, yes, And so some
folks, I guess atheists mostly or whoever,

129
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.720
would just believe you die, you
die, right yeah, because your

130
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.679
brain is just a machine that can't
work any longer. And then most religions

131
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.840
and most philosophers, I'm sure there's
plenty that don't believe that there's a spirit

132
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:33.279
or there's something that's untangible also within
that your soul is a separate spirit,

133
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.080
soul, consciousness or whatever is different
from your brain. Because I think eventually,

134
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.679
if there's a possibility to like live
on forever, there's going to be

135
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.440
some point, whether it's one in
fifty years or two hundred years later,

136
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.360
like you's going to be tired.
Yeah, but that's how it's how it's

137
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.799
depicted. And some people are already
tired at ninety nine. I'm tired at
