It is remarkable how many talented people are just lost in their personal lives. It is very easy in 2017 to rationalize terrible, self-destructive choices (like getting emotionally involved with someone long-distance, someone who's already got a family and is apparently still married). I see a pattern in my generation where there's also a kind of selfish, self-absorbed laziness to it (the author works harder at hobbies than keeping her home tidy). Do right and take care of the small things first.
This article was deeply unsatisfying, leaving the reader without any adequate conclusion. The tone of the article appeared to be "philosophical" in nature but it is difficult to glean anything useful or interesting - the "meat" just isn't there. I don't think this will appeal to many here and I found the article too self-absorbed and lacking to be of any interest.
tl;dr Married man has affair with a woman. By chance they both go to Burning Man and have another episode of the affair. Both are totally self absorbed, have tons of personal problems, and basically sum up the Burning Man attendee stereotype.
This is just a single person's account of a love affair, and not a general theoretical and evidence (or even story-vased) analysis piece, and as such that title is terrible clickbait.
The only thing equal to or more insufferable than people who go to burning man are the articles written about burning man
That may be true, but I don't think it's accurate to say that this particular article was about Burning Man.
