Burning Man makes a lot of sense if you’re interested in testing the limits of what constitutes the delineation between small group dynamics and the threshold to the “other”. Traditionally this point is reached at roughly 20 individuals but we’ve all suspected the population #s could be much greater. The fact that roughly 70k+ people show up and buy into this event is a true testimate to the underlying principles of Burning Man... But as a wise sage once said to me “people have been people for as long as people have been people.” With this in mind it’s astounding that the event has lasted this long without having to resort to these sort of decisions. As for comfort to the idealists I have only this to offer: “reality is what refuses to go away when you choose to stop believing in it.” As for whether or not BM will continue... its lasted this long and it seems to satiate an underlying need of the human condition in my opinion. So unless the organizers develope a coke habit, I see no reason it shall continue into the indefinite future.
