even plant death is on display - but I think the (safe, pretend) encounter with one's own death is really important

people are obsessed with "wilderness survival" and there's a trend of focus on allegedly spooky wilderness deaths even though most wilderness deaths are car accidents, heart attack, etc.

A recreational near death encounter might be nice as you aren‘t distracted by your nonexisting will or misgivings about the one you made.
