Revealed preference: in the abstract, it's popular to argue for death. In specific cases, most people fight it. Why this difference? I suspect the answer is multi-factor. One factor may be coping: it's easier to tell yourself "I DO like spinach" if you're forced to eat it anywayhttps://twitter.com/LauraDeming/status/1031225159598845953 …

I have seen hundreds and hundreds people dying and I am not sure they are fighting at the very end.
Thanks for the reply. I've known far fewer people who have died. I have observed people go from fighting to eventual acceptance. Do you have any sense of how common a pattern that is?

Acceptance or, in some cases, resignation.

No longer fighting need not amount to anything like acceptance or resignation. May just be a rational use of one's remaining time.
