Neil deGrasse Tyson discusses the concept of subjective experiences, such as near-death experiences, and contrasts personal truths with objective truths. He explains that while personal truths may be deeply meaningful to individuals, they cannot be objectively validated and may vary depending on cultural, religious, or personal beliefs. Tyson emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence and scientific inquiry in determining objective truths, which are true regardless of individual perspectives. He also touches on the historical criteria for defining death and the potential psychological and physiological factors that contribute to near-death experiences, highlighting the need for critical examination and skepticism in interpreting such phenomena. Additionally, Tyson mentions anecdotes of individuals claiming out-of-body experiences during accidents, citing historical references like Montaigne's account of being rear-ended while riding a horse.
