My impression is that Burning Man has suffered severe brain drain and is a shell of its former self. It used to have a strong tech nerd presence that elevated it above the standard hippy-dipster love fest. Ten years or so ago there was some truly innovative and well designed techno-psychedelia happening there. Now it just looks lazy and dumb.
Then again, I’m just basing this on videos I’ve seen. Does anyone know anyone who’s attended these things and has an inside scoop on the state of Burning Man these days?
Now that someone has died...probably a murder, it needs to be shut down permanently.
