Ask HN: Is Burning Man Over?

I went a couple time in early 2000's and loved it. I started to sour on it when a massive amount of oil was lit on fire for an art installation a little later. Now it's limping along in the pandemic, but the organizers still want to set large fires in times of climate crisis. I don't care if they do carbon offsets, it's still not a good look. The symbolism has changed. Why not do a light show? But no, they want to be "buring" man. I think the festival won't be able to come back from the pandemic and the increasingly severe climate crisis. The participants will look more and more out of touch.
