Where Burners ask 'What's Next?'

**************

Burners are an amazing bunch of people:

We've built the 5th largest city in Nevada every year for almost a decade. We've survived for weeks in an extreme climate with little water, dust storms and a relentless assault from our nearest star. We've developed philosophies and modes of operation almost from scratch... we've created a 'society' that exists not only during a festival, but year round as well. We've lifted our body-weight for recreation... we've fought our friends and lovers in the thunderdome... we've made art for art's sake and we've learned to appreciate people we would have otherwise never gotten to know.

These experiences, skills and memories will be with us for life -- and we have grown stronger as a result of all of them...

So...

Besides having a yearly trip to a desert, WHAT ELSE can we do if we put our collective minds to it??? What could we do if we were to collectively use our 'Burningman money' towards something else?

Could you buy collectively owned land?

Could we build non-profit, political and artistic complexes in cities around the world?

Could we cure world aids, world hunger and ascend up into the universe and build crazy space-ships that will absorb our consciousness and fly over to another planet and find out what the other planet is like so that we know and we can be happy with ourselves for exploring the universe?

Let's discuss it here. Be nice. hehe
