Burners give me headache. On one hand they state all kind of cool radical stuff... On the other it's only surface deep and it's mostly libs looking to get high and have sex -parties... Which... More power to you but drop the holier than thou attitude you're not doing anything special.
Atari hired Steve Jobs for the night shift to code a video game. Jobs couldn't code shit so he tricked his friend Wozniak into creating a game called Breakout in 2 days by promising to split the pay. The pay was split when they turned in the protoype.
What Jobs didn't tell Wozniak was there was a bonus for getting the game done in less than 2 weeks (or some arbitrary amount of short time). The bonus was like $5k in 2022 dollars.
Jobs disappeared to Oregon for a month, blew all his money on drugs, tripped balls, and picked apples.
During his short tenure at Atari, Jobs was given the night shift (as I mentioned earlier) because he refused to shower. The night shift consisted of one person: Steve Jobs. Before Jobs, there was no night shift.
I used to be friends with a guy who seemingly had the same level of aversion to bathing as Steve Jobs and he always smelled like shit. Dude would wear work boots for days at a time and when he actually took them off would get emphatic pleas to put them back on. He was also banned from multiple houses because he left a lingering stench for days.
He was not a hippie back in the day. None of these people were except for Jobs. What I'm saying is these tech freaks have taken on hippie affectations after becoming fabulously wealthy, presumably to assuage their guilt. That's very different from hippies becoming tech bros.
Yes, exactly. I think burning man encompasses a lot of the ideology that drives/created tech CEOs. i.e. the tenet of radical self-reliance and how you're responsible for yourself. Or how there is a "community", but it is very shallow. Like it reeks of libertarianism wrapped by a feel good rhetoric
the thing where one of the rules is there's no commercial activity except you have to buy a ticket is hilarious. like the first four were free and then they started charging and it went up a little bit every year and now it costs $225 minimum to be "free" for 9 days. raw, unfiltered, Capitalist Realism.

So like hippies if they were techbro ceos?
A lot of 70s hippies turned into techbro ceos

That's the inverse of the claim
wait is the bit that you're RPing as jack "@jack" dorsey, famous new age hippie tech ceo freak?

The Californian Ideology
I also recommend looking into the history of the Whole Earth Catalog and the fiction of Douglas Coupland

Oh, not just that. They have "commercial activity" in the form of barter of one sort or another
