You can always tell an idiot hippie because they embrace the nonsense from the East.

I wouldn't call all Eastern teachings nonsense. But I agree with your general point -- most of these people just gravitate to exotic spirituality because they're still mad at Mommy and Daddy for dragging them to Church every Sunday, or because they think it'll help them get laid. Very few understand how horrified most orthodox Hindus or Buddhists would be at something like Burning Man, and how it's much closer to Classical Dionysian revelry, pre-European Pagan ritual, or even Medieval festival-time than to anything "Eastern."

Right, I agree with you as to why they do it. But I maintain that all Eastern teachings are in fact nonsense.

A question for Mr. Harvey:
Think of those people who are now critizing your profits. Would they have helped you out if you had taken another loss? of course not. Therefore, don’t listen to them, and spend your hard-earned money as you please. You created something people wanted and paid an honest dollar for. our system rewards people like you. Enjoy!

Dont let money burn a hole in your pocket.I'd bet a healthy chunk of this change will, at the end of the day, jangle in the pocket of some Mexican drug lord.
To: Jaysun
You’re being far too specific. All spiritual movements and religions are bunk: east, west, north, and south.

I don’t know what not buying into stories about mystical elephant gods and and mystical crucifixion cults has to do with communism. And neither do you.

How much pollution did this festival generate?

All religions have some nuggets of truth in them.
Except, of course, atheism.
It is the only religion that is self-contradictory.
