Personal anecdotes asside, burning man is about community at scale IMHO. 70k people who are genuinely interested you. You get back a multiple of what you invest in terms of participation, so that has a great network effect. My advice? Go one year with a friend and spend at least a day volunteering. It's great to see the faces of people you help in one way or another.
