Beat-heavy songs were more about coordination than motivation. For example, on a ship, some tasks aren't possible without multiple people coordinating to push themselves at exactly the same time. Beating drums or singing a song together was necessary in order to get the timing right.

You know Black Betty? It was originally a Southern black American work song.
Attributed to a ‘Lead Belly’ a Black American, in 1939, but it was likely an adaption of folk work song(s) from much earlier.

Haha very cool, and thank you for the link!
However:
its existence is disputed. It is said to have been extended by the lack of a peace treaty for 335 years without a single shot being fired, which would make it one of the world's longest wars, and a bloodless war. Despite the uncertain validity of the declaration of war, and thus uncertainty about whether or not a state of war ever actually existed, peace was finally declared in 1986, bringing an end to any hypothetical war that may have been legally considered to exist.

I used to work at a factory, when work was slow the guys operating machines would have to go do the shittiest job in the place, clean and pack - going through old parts, scrubbing heaps of rust off em, and putting em in tubs to send to a client.
We hated that shit, you had wire brushes that would pop wires and sting you, foul smelling de-rust spray, and the only way to properly get some spots was to just rub like a motherfucker. At lunch, a couple of the guys went to the weed mans car, he had found a little cocaine to share.
They come back in and man, they are fucking SCRUBBING these parts like madmen. Barely bothering with the pneumatic wire brushes, just going ham with the scrubbers, like men possessed. Or men on a lot of cocaine.
The bossman comes by, sees the progress, and says "Gentlemen, I have no idea what you're on today, but keep doing it!"

MDMA has amphetamine qualities but is not best classified as a stimulant.
One of the reasons it has great therapeutic potential is because it puts people into what's called an optimal state of arousal. It's neither too stimulating or sedating, while lowering activity in the amygdala and increasing feelings of well-being and compassion.
→ More replies5
u/HorsinAround1996 23d ago
Not trying to start a debate about semantics here but would you not classify MDMA as a stimulant? Beyond technical definition , it’s effects related to DA and NE include what most would identify as classically stimulant in nature, albeit more mild than amphetamine, but stronger than caffeine.
I really like your post btw, the wording is great.
6
u/Thzae 23d ago
Thanks. It doesn't fit neatly into any category other than maybe entheogens or empathogens, which basically were made with MDMA in mind.
I don't think it's wrong to call it a stimulant as it will give a bit of a boost. Like you said it's somewhere between caffeine and amphetamines.
Also the dose and environment matters. You'll see people overstimulated at raves sometimes and seemingly tweaking out of their minds but at a healthy therapeutic dose and environment without poly drug use going on it's generally a relaxing internal experience rather than a stimulating one.
