No, I am not. You keep making wrong assumptions about me and disagreeing on the surface while (seemingly) agreeing where it matters.

Yes, exactly. Thus the views of the person on their death bed aren’t more universally valid. That’s the whole point I’m making.
Try climbing. Top ropes, sport and traditional. All the same things but with wholly different consequences. The experience is entirely different.
The person who had a near death experience versus dying is on a spectrum. One being acute, the other being chronic. Both would have different views.
