the abyss
The context in which most people take E these days actually encourages the active resistance of all those 'positive' aspects of the drug. It's frowned upon and the game is to suppress the empathy. In fact I think that was always something of an illusion, what it really offers is a sense of self-acceptance. In a communal setting this gives the impression of PLUR because it's essentially people being ill at ease with themselves that leads to the usual hassles and agro.
i can agree with that, but that revelation in no way invalidates my argument. does anyone realise how valuable that knowledge is?
and that is just one component of the drugs effect, but probably the most important. when i used to turn relationship or people issues round in my mind on e, you can remove your self from the equation (or at least it feels ike that). incredibly liberating, the clarity, the insight - what other drug even comes close to that? none of those things were either fake or transient, for me at least.
Edit - In a weird synchronicity that D-REAM song was just used on Radio 4 as I type this. That was an E anthem that was adopted by New Labour for the '97 election. Do you need any more graphic illustration of the values that are really encouraged the Xperience?
this is highly tenuous and i don't really feel it has anything to do what i've experienced.
