Perhaps the human psyche, or soul, is a standing wave front of merged
brain systems crashing to nothingness, when by accident, we are
damaged enough to be pronounced dead (No electrical current - no
function of any kind).  These systems only cascade fail slowly as we
die of other problems.  By slowly I mean in an electrical sense, which
is actually so fast you wouldnt notice the ebb...

this is a good subject and article. Can we pick and pull pieces of its
body to examine?

<< it doesn’t tell us why people see the soul unbuckling itself from
the body and floating off like an invisible helium balloon into the
realm of eternity. After all, there’s nothing to stop us from having
afterlife beliefs that involve the still active mind being entombed in
the skull and deliriously happy. Yet almost nobody has such a
belief.>>

People "see" strangeness while grieving, or with atltered brain
tructures/chemistry, and outside input from chemical friends. To see
and observe death on a cold day... observing the last chilled breath
dissappear on the wind, should provide an appropriate image. An out of
body experience, explainable by science, brings the sensation of
floating above the body.  There are so many ways to come at that
impression. Trapped in a decomposing body? How unaesthetic. Repulsion
explainable by the deterioration of the flesh. Not even our evolved
fanciful fantasy equipment can overcome that one.

Can we discuss the entirety of death? this is fun.
