To Get to the Heart of Burning Man
This lightweight means of transportation is useful. Black Rock City’s residents are able to express themselves more fully because to the city’s development and infrastructure, and they take this spirit back to the “default” world. Burners will always have to rely on each other and establish common ground since the sheer harshness of the desert will make communal survival a unifying force for most people.
To Create a Gift-Based Economy
Since the entire purpose of Burning Man is to give gifts to one another, the worth of any given gift is presumed to be high. You don’t have to exchange something of equal value to make a gift. Attendees of the Burning Man festival at Nevada’s Black Rock Desert are strongly encouraged to barter and barter only with one another in a gift economy. In the early days of the burning community, there was also a hidden barter market where members would trade “favours.” It was once encouraged by the Burning Man organisation but is now generally discouraged.
