The Razor's Edge (Psychedelics and Morality)

To say that a particular idea is “right” or “wrong” to “some particular degree” is the same as to say the social acceptance aggregate, as determined by my interests, is either strong or weak.  Which is to say, the idea is more or less useful around certain kinds of people (the ones I need to stay linked to). 

 Moral claims both spoken (“this should be done”) and unspoken (“I am doing this, which is my bid for its needing to be done”), are offers for an exchange of social capital.  They are economic transactions. 

 Everything is mathematical, a play of numbers, an algorithm at the razor’s edge between “nothing” and “something.”

 Psychedelics, properly used, provide an experience of this edge.
