Edit: Boing Boing says something interesting about this at https://boingboing.net/2019/02/13/radical-participation.html https://boingboing.net/2019/02/13/radical-participation.html
"As noted, some of this was clearly related to the Borg's own divided sensibilities: founder Larry Harvey (who died last year) defended the idea of the super-rich attending amid a certain amount of luxury, on the basis that everyone experiences Burning Man in their own way."
- RantyDave 8y agoRight! If "radical inclusion" is a principle, then radically include we shall. But the Burn spends a fortune on security, policing, fences etc. with the specific intention that radical inclusion doesn't include people who haven't paid. What they _mean_ is "radical inclusion, but only people we like". It's not a very good principle. I never did get the coffee and ice thing either.
