Please just smoke copious amounts of DMT until they tell you to stop. Fear of death=gone.
who are 'they'?

I dont ask for an appology for myself. I ask for it in terms of even comparing the ego death experience to that of the dying process of actual people. Those people are the only ones who have knowledge of this process. Taking a heap of drugs and having a ego death experience is nothing more than a drug induced psychotic break from reality. To compare ego death to the actual dying process is like comparing chalk and cheese.
Why do you think smoking DMT has any relevance to dying? Because of "The spirit molecule" where he makes up that bullshit theory that DMT is released at death? That was complete shit.
There is a distinction between analytically coming to a conclusion, and taking the implications of that conclusions personally. It is not max' or Xorkoth's responsibility if others like you lovepsychadelics take offense to the implications.
For example saying that seeing someone else dying is not the same as dying yourself is a simple fact and it hardly needs any analysis. Lovepsych I get that working in a palliative care facility is profoundly emotional and it can do a lot to your feelings and ideas about dying, and nobody is trying to take that away from you. But the fact just remains that you have not died or you would not be here to join the conversation.
Let's avoid too much escalation in this topic based on getting those things all mixed up in similar ways.
Again, nobody is trying to hurt your feelings I'm sure, and I don't like the idea of people taking sides rather than plain agreeing with statements, posts or perspectives... that said I agree with Xorkoth that no apologies are due.
And apart from that, I'd generally appreciate it if everyone could avoid taking things personally that weren't meant that way, since they were obviously not formulated that way.
Feelings, even heartfelt ones are not fair to project onto arguments inappropriately. And it is especially unfair to blame others if that results in conflict.
I hope we can all be understanding of each other and suggest we get back on topic, I'm afraid I don't have time to comment on the topic's subject because I didn't really have time to write this post in the first place but it seemed necessary. I will comment and give my personal views / opinion tomorrow or as soon as I have time.
Question is: can I (we) overcome the fear of death once "forever" and live our life freely?
