Psychedelics advocate and amateur Burning Man scholar John Turner’s two passions come together in one interdimensional rabbit-hole of a website: Trippingly.net. In compiling what could be the ultimate fan site of Burning Man history, John has captured a lot of great playa stories, and he shares some of the best in this conversation with Stuart.He explores the subjective unknowns of Burning Man events and psychedelics as same-same-but-different. Bring your neural nets to be plasticized. Bring your ego to be dissolved. It’s a trip through the past, and a trip through presence.But when an interviewer interviews another interviewer, things can get weird. Stuart has to answer a few questions himself, and together they explore the power of story (good and bad), who remembers what, who takes credit and who doesn’t, and the subjective nature of consciousness. It’s a reflection on memory, on serendipity, and the power of not knowing.“Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” ~Mark Twain (as quoted by Larry Harvey)trippingly.netJohn B Turner (LinkedIn)shulginresearch.netcacophony.orgCacophony Society (Wikipedia)Burning Man 2023 art theme: ANIMALIA
