They are looking to escape the emotion of this fear, which is experienced within the body. You are applying LOGIC to something illogical.
It is the EMOTION they run from, and they will do what they can to suppress the emotion, rather than fully experience, feel and process it, including but certainly not limited to: escape into fantasy, rumination onto the past, projection into the future, intellectual contemplation, drugs, alcohol, sex, porn, videogames, movies, TV, internet shitposting, social media, politics, sports watching, etc.
The fact that it is self destructive does not mean it is not rooted in fear of the physical death of the body. It just means that they ALSO fear the fear and will illogically do what they can in order to escape the experience of the emotion itself, which they are suppressing.
The death of the physical body would ALSO mean death of the ego though, so the ego definitely assists in this destraction and keeps us bamboozled by intellectualization, mental abstraction of experience and false profundity of realizations, among other things.
This is especially true when the ego is close to being killed, because then nothing protects us from the experience of fear when confronted with the notion of physical death, as is the case when doing psychedelic drugs and drugs like marijuana. This is why so many stoner "gurus" like to get high all the time and create giant holes in their energy bodies by using drugs to open their indigo ray energy center without properly clearing the lower 3. They escape the emotion of fear connected to the death of the physical body, causing an opening of the 3rd eye temporarily and a weakened, dissolving ego which fights back by making the realizations of the 3rd eye opening seem like profound personal growth so it can have a place to hold onto.
The death of the physical body and the death of the ego are highly linked, because the ego is utilized heavily in the suppression of the experience.
