Burning Man, thankfully, is not for everyone.


The attendance at Burning Man this year was around 49,500 people. I know 49,499 people that had a better time than this guy. He wrote an article for the embarrassingly money-centric and right wing Wall Street Journal. My favorite part:

This was not a festival about deeper understanding or spiritual hokum. The pretense of a demonetized society notwithstanding, consumption was king at Burning Man. The gargantuan pyrotechnics, the drugs, the sex -- this was just wanton hedonism. Ordinary and not-so-ordinary people gave the finger to "the man," shirked responsibility and behaved recklessly.
Umm..l last time I checked, wanton hedonism rules!
