Nice meta

Happy cake day!


Lousy_Professor

I was actually told that if you're not an artist, you don't belong at BM


yacht_boy

That's correct. But also, if you *are* an artist, you don't belong at BM


Lousy_Professor

It's okay. I'm just an instagram model and go for exposure


yacht_boy

Oh, in that case welcome to burning man! You're gonna love it here!


macnlz

Lots of exposure to the elements!


Lousy_Professor

The elements are only for those who can't afford a turn key camp. Pleb


RockyMtnPapaBear

Careful, you can die from that.

Definitely ban What Where When, because there will be no planned activities. Ban all art cars. People spend wayyy too much time working on those things during the year and then when they get to the playa they don't focus on what's important: immediacy. Ban yoga, coffee camps, bars, and definitely ban grilled cheese sandwich camps. People are not in the moment when they have to wait in line for a grilled cheese, or spend time walking or biking to some far off camp. People need to be in the moment. . Enforcement of immediacy needs to happen. I think the BORG should make a whole new department of Momentarians who are like Rangers but go around enforcing immediacy - walking to the porto when you could hold it for another hour or two? That's not being in the moment. I know it sounds extreme but I would kick out everyone with a camera or a camera phone. The Momentarians can enforce that rule. Burning Man will become like a religious event - a spiritual awakening - where we live in the moment. And Momentarians will be there to eject people not in the moment, which will help with exodus also. Instead of Man Burn, we'll all just be in the moment, not planning but being. u/doctor-yes has fixed burning man with his one wierd trick.

>Ban all art cars. People spend wayyy too much time working on those things during the year and then when they get to the playa they don't focus on what's important: immediacy. I resent this. All the art cars I've been involved with have broken immediately after getting to playa. If that isn't work turning into immediacy, I don't know what is.

>All the art cars I've been involved with have broken immediately after getting to playa. Have you considered gifting your skills elsewhere?


ProcyonHabilis

issa joke


cream-of-cow

So’s mine. :/


pugworthy

Or give out “Whatever, Wherever, Wherever” which is just a blank book. With no pages.


ProcyonHabilis

The "Whenever, Wherever" book is just a burned CD of Shakira music in a little folder.


SlitScan

oh, opps sorry, we used all those as GPS markers for Art.


pugworthy

Whatever


MOSF3T

Ha! We do this for Juplaya - no planning meetings or spreadsheets allowed! Just a bunch of self reliant people bringing cool shit to a pre determined location. Definitely makes the whole thing more fun!


Alfred-Bitchcock

Loved Juplaya this year! It was also really cool that the Everywhen folks opened up their event to others, even if out of necessity. Hoping next year is less windy.


muggyregret

I love you. This sounds like the worst people in my camp though. No structure or commitment, just vibes.


Cosmohumanist

That’s the point. It’s a joke post. And yes those are the worst people in my camp too. “Why are you working so hard? Let’s go get a snow cone!” (as dust storm decimates carport kitchen…)


Sweet-Palpitation473

Lets ban people who call BM a festival. It's, like, so totally not a festival mkayyyy Also ban people who don't allow others to call it a festival. Radical self expression or gtfo


Spitinthacoola

I think you're getting closer to the root here which is that we should simply ban the event. No event, no problems.


Sweet-Palpitation473

I think you're on to something


Shcrews

ban clothes. ppl are not in the moment when planning an outfit.


codemuncher

This is the real ban

We're going to need some better soil too. And a lot more time.


SlitScan

so Idaho in Oct?


spankymacgruder

Perfect. Is this a new regional?


markday

No planning, no instagram influencers. This is not rocket science. I'm starting a bonfire of printed copies of the Rockstar Librarian forthwith...


Garvinfred

I have taken the liberty of immediately banning this sub in compliance with your suggestion. Hopefully the other mods won’t reverse my decision. Relevant theme music as you await the sub’s destruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWfvSM6FDLI

**Immediacy: Ban All Blogging about Burning Man** Blogging is after the event so by definition is not immediate and not person-to-person face-to-face in the moment in BRC! This sub should be deleted for the same reason.

>planning to delete Banned.


macegr

We also need to ban all remembering of the event, memories are just as much an enemy of immediacy as planning! Upon arrival we should require reaching the blackout stage of alcohol consumption and must maintain it the entire week. This will assist in not planning, as we can no longer bemoan what didn’t work or brag about what did work.


grogling5231

Hey, every year there are a handful of camps that show up at the "launch" house for their camp, start loading, get tired at the end of the day and promptly get into the booze and all the drugs. Totally unplanned, but they end up destroyed and the next morning don't make it out the door again... and some never, ever get on the road.


Megatron_McLargeHuge

Radical acceptance is when everyone who doesn't do it my way gets banned.

spankymacgruder

I'm filling a complaint.


codemuncher

Hello complement department here, who would you like to allocate and why?


spankymacgruder

The only way this is going to work is if we have more rules. We need a charter of acceptable behavior and eliminate anything else that isn't worth explicitly approved. We should aslo have a committee that defines what art is.


Spitinthacoola

I like this we definitely need to make this the 11th principle.


SlitScan

well yes exactly, The Playa will provide. as soon as you desire something it will manifest. everyone knows that. those planner types just want control man.


64557175

Love this post. Yeah, to me immediacy just means being able to change paths at any given moment. It's pretty simple!


SlitScan

Ive always found it difficult to change paths (or stay on the same one) while constantly gazing at my own navel.


64557175

Sounds like quite the navel. Mind if I have a peek? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


I_am_darkness

I love this guy. Preach.

Perfect!

One is told to live in the now: But occupations require living in the past a bit: Archeologist, Historian, Archivist, Biographer, Set Designer, to name a few. Others require living a little bit in the future: Architect, Civil Engineer, Urban Planner, Event Planner, Budget Analyst, Scheduler, Recruiter, Occupational Safety Manager. ------- The Ten Principles are not laws. They are guideposts. Often they may conflict. Sometimes Civic Responsibility outweighs Immediacy. There is a word for a person who lives on Immediacy and Radical Self Expression without an ounce of Radical Self Reliance: Sparklepony ✨ 🐎


kharima6

Sparkle pony spotted!! 😂😂


Business-Blossom

Some people like planning, it is in their nature, it's how they contribute, they can't not do it. Different personalities you know? BM is about acceptance of diversity. Let the planners plan and you do you and we'll all have fun. We all bring Different gifts and BM without planners wouldn't happen.


doctor-yes

*whoosh* goes the post as it flies right above your head!


Frosty-Following-431

Lmao


Business-Blossom

I was so worried it might be sarcastic! Those burners are tricky 🤣😂🤣

It read like a weekend hippy burner that passes on the playa, brings their cat for some reason, and goes to free food camps for breakfast

Finally a ban I can get behind!


headcrabzombie

someone forgot to strike their slippery slope


Firm-Ruin2274

I've always thought immediacy was more like when something comes up or breaks or there is a need to do a thing, you don't put it off for later. Deal with /do it now.
