The Carter Reader | Carter Brooks | Substack
I’ve found cultivating this quality of being ok being overwhelmed is mostly about reframing things. For example, reframing the purpose of meditation from an effort to calm the world down, to instead cultivating enough experience of stillness to be able to stay centered in the chaotic moments. One can also put oneself into more chaotic situations intentionally, to build capacity to endure them, which is why going to Burning Man is not just hedonistic fucking off, but can also be an important collective muscle building for the anticipated future unfolding. For Trump’s reelection the challenge is to stay focused and manage the consequences without getting thrown off by the cruel intent and the flaunting of asshole politics.
You Can Still Get Tickets to Burning Man - Bloomberg
This is speculation, but I do think it's possible that yeah, Burning Man has become too mainstream and if you see a drop in popularity, it might be reflecting that. It might be reflecting people feeling like this thing that used to feel like an unusual or sort of like counter-cultural thing to do is just kind of normal now. Um, I wonder if it's just a victim of its own popularity and that, like, as with many things, it starts off as this, like, weird side thing to do and then, like, just, the more popular it is, the less it is that and, you know, what once was a signal about Eric Schmidt versus other CEO candidates, now it's kind of like I think, you know, at your most cynical, you could say that if you're in Silicon Valley, going to Burning Man is a good way to network. Like that is a very different scenario than it was, you know, 10 or 15 years ago.
