You said:
“I’m already … my van … I was talking about … One of my campmates … I was primitive … My … I’m not … I came … and AOT pilloried me for that. Now I’m being pilloried for not camping in a tent with a few MREs out in the walk-in area.”

The only thing you ought to be pilloried for is posting primarily about what you’re being pilloried for, without plugging your private peeve into a more properly public grievance. Spare us the protest, Pink!

FLOYD,
You raise an important ‘point’lessness, but last thing’s first: I don’t think The Man’s head should be an apostrophe — it shouldn’t be asymmetrical. My first thought was an asterisk: )*( , and since the legs are so appropriate (‘bracketing out’ the Default World), it could work as a [BLANK] that refers you to the margin or densely-populated-’bottom’/rim of the ‘page’ to fill in its meaning. But I guess it has to look right…. has this debate happened already or does no one care??

‘The Man’ is a [BLANK]……….. I’m just going to let that stand for absence of a long rant on the importance of headlessness (or maybe Facelessness?), and instead (to prod us back in the direction of the original topic):
Isn’t it MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER for Burning Man to be somewhat militant about decommodification, as an antienvironment to the new environment of corporate legal personhood?? Isn’t it crucial to insist that corporations are not welcome (nor their “gifts” recognized as such, re: the newer decommodification blog post video about “thanking” a legal ghost for the vegan ice cream) because they are NOT PEOPLE????

‘how are the conflicts between those natural tendencies and BM’s undetermined future path communicated?’

Expand, explain please. Not sure I understand what you mean by ‘those natrual tendencies’.

In the professional creative community personal and professional brand are highly intermixed. And there is no longer any downside to reputation in any profession to participate in BM. So there is a natural tendency for people to promote themselves and professional projects by their association with the event.
