You know what else exemplifies “mild cult behavior”? Burning Man!
No, I don’t think it does. Burning Man is an event and a community. I don’t see any cultish tendencies around it.
I was being sarcastic. My point was that the “cult” label can be hard to shake whether or not it’s deserved—I analogized to Burning Man since it shares characteristics with LW, but was lucky enough to avoid getting labeled a “cult”.
but was lucky enough
You really think it was just luck that BM didn’t get a “cult” label and LW did..?
I did not mean to say that it was “just” luck, but of course luck played a role (as it always does).
