I am not sure what exactly it is. As best I can tell it is a no-money, barter economy, dusty, hot/cold art festival, camp out, bike ride, hippie thing/non-hippie thing, that has a bunch of other things going on in the middle of the uninhabited desert salt flat?
Have you ever been?
Is there a main purpose to it?

Dude that's sick1 -
the purpose is to have fun and let go for a week. I've never been, had tickets once year but had to resell them because something came up. I have many friends that go every year religiously, and I will go eventually. Burning Man is what you make of it. Drug fueled bacchanalia? There's a tent for that. 24/7 anonymous orgy? there's a tent for that. spiritual awakening and meditation? yep. there's a tent for that.
Heck, I have a couple friends that are city dwellers and go every year because they like to spend a week or more building things with their hands. Art installations, temporary buildings, tents, domes, whatever. They get to spend part of their year working with their hands in a way that they don't have the opportunity to do the rest of the year. That's literally their entire purpose in life when they go.4 -
I set my ex on fire. Close enough?5

Thanks for this explanation...It looks fascinating for sure but I think I am a spectator, not a participant.0 -
