Matthew... I am doing some research on footprints and some stuff for work, and I understand what you are saying... but although it doesn't *have* to be sustainable, why not? You state that "it doesn't have to be sustainable"...
But "why shouldn't it be sustainable?" is probably a better question.
But there are those types of trolls and individuals on the board that constantly cop out to any sort of helpful or inclusive oriented material, and cop out with seemingly thinly veiled immature intellectualism... I almost suspect a couple of jaded burners meeting quietly in a room from time to time chatting about how to mitigate as much dissonance and confusion as possible. Like they are carrying a torch for a BM in the past that is quite forgone.... and instead of changing the mission statement to mirror the moment in time we live in.... they wish to stay the course of old (not unlike a current administration with the same philosophy) of radical, non directed, anarchistic, and a paganism somewhat devoid of real depth.
SO.... weird, serious, funny, and nihilistic answers are a must....
What is burning man then?
Sex farm?
techno rave?
extreme camping with friends?
fun?
art?
stupid?
whatever opinion you think you have, there will be another 500 wildly different than yours. I think this creates one nature of BM to be inherently anarchistic, and therefore will break down over time. The amount of perspectives is lovely... but falls apart with a certain critical mass... layers and layers of misread and misunderstood subtext and mission statements. This is why the jaded posse of deconstructionists seem to be willfully perpetuating some level of cognitive dissonance on these boards and at the burn.
Unfortunately... the majority of the post modernist and deconstructionist thought that pervades BRC will slowly bring it to its knees. There will always be someone to disagree with an idea, or movement, or event for no other reason than playing devil's advocate and stripping someone down.
It is much much easier to immediately strip down an idea and take it apart, than it is to immediately embrace the spirit of the idea and try to comprehend it... to try to test it, experiment with it.... to see if something is possible... than the intellectually inferior and incredibly insipid ability of these paranoid delusionals that think the Burn is only about their nihilistic, deconstructed, and child like stubborness that immediately claims, as soon as someone has an idea... a "what if"
These pseudo-intellectuals immediately stomp their feet and suggest, "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO".
Well.. it is an organized event, with private Limited Liability Company that sets rules....
so Mathew, anyone else that knows I am talking to them... ideas can be supported, things can be accomplished, and YES.. we can tell you what to do. It is just whether the people receiving the message are self-absorbed, arrogant bastards that use tired philosophy to further their weak minded egos.
Just my two cents.
So (and here it comes)
Next year if you wanna turn off your lights during the full lunar eclipse... we will have a great moment of connection with each other. We will honour and respect the natural physical processes of the world around us.... the green nature of our 07 burn, and connect with planet and universe we are so firmly situated in, for one moment during a week where we feel like we are flying through time and space! (we are)
Thanks... just trying to research some green stuff, and BM is full of intelligent inventors that are helping to make the world a better place... and unfortunately, some of those inventions can be practically applied and business built off of it. And the Burn is one of the best resources for a dialogue about economic sustainability and the like. I read Matt's last post on that thread... and it just burns me (pun) up.
Just my thoughts....
The smug smile of satisfaction some of these people get just makes me sick. And they like that I am all uppity about it now. I know that. So good job. Toodles lovers... more soon.
