This is the week that all the new age artistic minds get
together to see how much more they, collectively, have lost their minds. But they are no crazier than your average football
fan. To those who attend Burning Man, it's
a cultural and artistic experience. I
have never been and cannot see myself ever going. To me it's like a football game and
worse. Burning Man began in San
Francisco as a symbolic contrast and wakeup call to the failings of modern
man. We're burning! It has become a literal depiction of ignorance,
to the fires and the failing attributes of postmodern man.
It is supposed to
be a pretend post-apocalyptic getaway to call attention to the fact that soon
we might face some sort of apocalyptic event, that we are figuratively burning
ourselves. If Burning Man was anything contrary
to the destructive and sickening status quo, it would be called building
man. And instead of going into one of the
most inhospitable environments on the planet and building wooden art structures
to burn, wasting and consuming time and energy and resources, they would go to
Wyoming or Detroit or some other location that would be glad to have sixty
thousand people come and build structural art.
After x years out in the playa they could have built a new Detroit, a
permanent community, one contrary to the status quo of the modern burning man,
burning fossil fuels and nuclear fuels which kill us and, might very well cause
drought and desertification and post-apocalyptic conditions like that at the
playa.
Burning Man is
like the NFL or NASCAR, it's a distraction.
Only to me though, it's worse. It
is a distraction of artists, where great effort goes into behavior as the
status quo, building simply to destroy, massive amounts of money is spent
selfishly where people are homeless and hungry. And it's worse to me because a place of art
equates to a place of indigos and indigos should be building not playing in the
playa and not watching football. Real
art and real contrarian action, real anti-establishmentarianism has nothing to do
with pharmaceutical concoctions and Mad Max dress up and building to burn while
people go without because of the way of postmodern burning man. It's worse to me that of any place in the
world, the playa this time of year probably has the highest concentration of
Indigos and people who realize what an Indigo is than anywhere else in the
world and that even the Indigos are happy-go-lucky nowadays. Check the sites below if you don't know what's
an Indigo.

It's as if the
worse it gets, the happier people become and they do so by ignoring the facts
about the burning man status quo of today.
We're ignoring the energy oligarchies destroying the planet. We're ignoring the petrolithic era and the
nuclear era negatively impacting health and wellbeing of life and future life. We're ignoring that we are essentially
sh*tting in our bed, the toxins from burning oil and igniting nuclear chain
reactions is in our blood, it's in our food and it's the air we breathe. We have altered the planet so as to create
the conditions for oligarchical collectivism, the 1% over the 99%, the few over
the many and we are so accustomed to it, that even what is labeled alternative
is exactly the same formation. Everyone,
at least every Indigo, should be insulted and cursing mad at the conditions of
the burnt status quo and do their utmost not to partake in the burning any
longer, but actively build.
