[lbo-talk] suicide bombers on ecstasy?

[Thomas Seay]

Ecstacy, at least real Ecstacy MDMA, would not be the
drug you would give someone to go out and kill.  I
cant say it's impossible but I highly doubt it.
Ecstacy has been called an empathogen, because it
heightens the feeling of empathy....not a sentiment
you would want to encourage in a suicide bomber.

=====
The real world gives the subset of what is; the product space represents the uncertainty of the observer.  The product space may therefore change if the observer changes; and two observers may legitimately use different product spaces within which to record the same subset of actual events in some actual thing. The "constraint" is thus a relation between observer and thing; the properties of any particular constraint will depend on both the real thing and on the observer.  It follows that a substantial part of the theory of organization will be concerned with properties that are not intrinsice to the thing but are relational between observer and thing.
