Why would you put a giant reflective thing in the middle of the desert with the sun out all day

I'd like to go one year to document it

omg

I'm reading these tiers for Tim

Like, correct me if I'm wrong but that's pretty dumb, right

"I am a rich person and Tim is great"

dying atm

It's very dumb

It grew from a group of like 50 to 70,000 over the years

I just wanted to make sure I had more of an idea of basic thermodynamics than 128 kickstarter backers who sent it there

*indiegogo

Does Tim have any tier 4 or 5 people?

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-orb-at-burning-man-2018#/ Like, here's the indiegogo

They asked for $50k, got $35k, sent it there anyway

That thing looks sick

saw pics

It's literally a reflective ball, though

I don't see the artistic value

And that's not me being ignorant of art, I'm a singer/songwriter

Description on indiegogo is really pretentious too

Idk, I might swing through Burning Man if I'm ever stateside but honestly yeah it looks like I'd get annoyed

Awesome.

Hope this helps, Tim. ;)

burning man used to be cool

its was this anti establishment thing where ppl could do fun shit

Quiznos shot a commercial there

rich ppl show up in campers with AC

its as establishment as it comes now

Yeah :/

It's when things go mainstream

ppl who go to burning man are sheep pretending to be shepherds

The music that comes from these kinds of gatherings are still good.

Goa, PsyTrance, etc

I like the thought that alternatives to Burning Man will pop up as a result of Burning Man becoming too mainstream and capitalized to hell.

@Timcast didn't it used to be free and now it's pay to enter?

not sure

I should do some research on Burning Man

as long as Ive known about it has been dominated by the type of people who go to spencers and buy "nerd" hats

Yes

I think thats the best way to describe how I feel about it

its the "nerd hat" equivalent of a festival
