This week we decided to give the Netflix documentary series Surviving Death a whirl. It did not go well. BUT it did make us want to know more about the science behind near-death experiences and what’s going on with our brains when we die.
[0:00] Mark explains the Schmidt Pain Index
[10:20] We can’t help but get into the Armie Hammer cannibal stuff
[19:15] We put bios on our website, we’re making a FB group, and we’ve scheduled our next JoAG Watch Along! Mark your calendars for February 6th to watch Evil Dead 2 with us on Discord!
[21:40] We talk about “Near-Death Experiences” and scientific theories of where consciousness is located
