EP 6 Nati Goldman

Today's guest is Nati Goldman, an influential figure in the Israeli Burning Man community and a founder of Midburn. The conversation explores Goldman’s personal evolution from a seeker of "party culture" to a philosophical advocate for the ten principles, specifically emphasizing how radical inclusion requires a difficult, conscious shift from egoism to altruism. Goldman recounts the organizational challenges of establishing a regional event in Israel, including a high-stakes legal and personal confrontation with local police to protect the community’s autonomy. Ultimately, the source reflects on the fragility of countercultural movements in the wake of the October 7th crisis, questioning how to sustain a "state of mind" centered on allowing others to exist during times of profound societal trauma.
