Please, provide your own 11th Principle Suggestion(s):

Radical Microphone-Free DJs: a talking DJ is a clueless DJ. Your audience doesn't care.

Radical Lethality: You could die, so fucking live.

"Unseriousify yourself! This is supposed to be fun!!!"

[Elderberry]

Just because there were 10 commandments, doesn't mean there has to be 10 principles. (Or is BM really a religion?)

[maladroit]

Ten is a convenient number for counting, since we have ten fingers. If we insist on having an 11th principle, it'll be biased towards men (unless, of course, the 11th Principle is simply "My Dick").

Radical Dick: Be one, or have one.

It might be worth pointing out that when the 10 principles were written, they were descriptive and not prescriptive. So, less of a 'thou shalt not' and more of a looking at the point things were at and writing up what seemed like the most important aspects.

That said, I'll toss out a couple things that you might want to consider, with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek...

Radical sense of doing it wrong. Sure, we all know we're doing it wrong (and if we don't know it, someone's sure to come along and point that out shortly), but some people really embody and embrace this principal and go well out of their way to make sure others know it. It's the burnier than thou principle!

Radical sense of realization. That sounds a bit lofty, but it's that point when you realize and proclaim that it was better last year... or next year.... or both. Think of it as the dusty equivalent of the grass is always greener.

Radical reliance on others. While not a replacement for radical self reliance, it's an alternative that growing numbers seem to be embracing. Rather than putting in the time and doing some research and looking things up (now that the internet has plenty of search results), many have abandoned all pretense and seek out camps based on amenities rather than exciting themes and participation... or just post seeking camp threads. The community will almost always point these people in the right direction so they can connect the dots, but there is usually a little bit of snark involved.

That's all I've got. And yeah, they've all got the word radical in them.... but I think they work

[Doctor VonBacon]

It's useful in a wide variety of situations.

Figjam. Were you a Laubach Literacy teacher? I was one when I was 10 years old. My Mother and I volunteered once a week to teach english to spanish speaking adults. 'Each One, Teach One'.

[some seeing eye]

I'm with Figjam!

Each One Teach One is the 11th principle of Afrikaburn.

It solves a lot of our problem if new burners are recruited, oriented before the event and have friends on the Playa.

[Aurelia]

11th Principle: Read The Above.

Or less politely: Read the above. Understand the above. Or GTFO.

I still insist the 11th principal is :

"Fuck your couch."

[Simon of the Playa]

Eat The Brown Acid

[Savannah]

I still insist the 11th principal is :

This has my vote!

One of my friends passes out buttons that says "11th Principle: FUCK THAT GUY" . . . which is also entertaining.
