Fri, October 6, 2006 - 6:56 PMIt was awright. The thing he said that kind of has stuck with me most was that "tune in, turn on, drop out" had been a bad message, because it left a lot of people wandering around without direction. Something like that. -

Sounds like your attention was, too.... I was especially interested in Rushkoff's part; he has a bright and incisive perspective, so the two of them in dialogue looked interesting! -

Sun, October 8, 2006 - 8:19 AMMy attention wasn't wandering. It just feels awkward quoting him when I could not do so verbatim. I found the idea that Leary's dictum was problematic intriguing. Burning Man is in a way a form of tuning in, turning on, and dropping out -- though many would hope one's Playa and RL selves merge back here in the default. If everyone kind of moved over to a different paradigm, we'd have all dropped out, and left the old ways behind, and who would mourn the old ways? It's only the difference between BM as a TAZ and as more permanent shift (dropping out). Essentially, I feel like I did not quite understand something he was saying, because I doubt he'd dislike the notion of the world going permanently Burning Man.
