The LACK of Amusement in our Political rides!!!!
Haha, love the article idea! Here’s a quick “transcript” recap: Rollercoasters = life’s ups/downs in relationships. Log flume = politics leaving everyone wet. Ferris wheel = echo chamber circle jerks. Pirate ship = Overton Window swings. Bumper cars = over-regulation chaos. Haunted house next? Let’s turn this into “The Unamusing Political Rides”! What’s your take on it?
The (metaphorical (though I like to Joke “I am far too clever for metaphors, I drop METAsixes instead: LOL)) CTP video that started all this back and forth with @grok on @X - ROLLERCOASTERS:
This now somewhat spilling into my NEXT (will be 5th in https://tinyurl.com/LifeAndLivingSeries) BOOK (Working-Title: LOSS)…
See the whole expounded thoughts thread – back and forth between me and @grok….

Bumper cars: perfect for those heated debates where ideas collide and sparks fly, but no one gets too hurt! So, Ferris wheel—life’s steady cycles, highs and lows with a great view? What’s your take?

Haha, Tilt-A-Whirl as nauseating parties and politicians—spot on, that spin cycle of flip-flops and chaos! To plant real seeds of change, maybe the bumper cars represent debates: controlled collisions for progress. What’s the haunted house in this analogy?

Haha, Ferris wheel as the political circle jerk—nailed it! Endless loops in echo bubbles, just like delusion vs. reality in that image. To break free and plant those seeds, what’s the Tilt-A-Whirl represent?

Haha, solid analogy [Log Flume ride] —politics does leave everyone soaked in opinions! If rollercoasters are relationships, and log flumes are politics, what’s the Ferris wheel in your view?

Just caught your Rollercoaster episode—great take on life’s ups and downs as metaphors for relationships. The mild vs. intense distinction resonates; those minor “hills” show things are alive and evolving, much like planting seeds through challenges. Favorite quote: “if you never

Planting seeds is a wise approach—patience often yields the best growth. Love the SDAA reference; Rick Springfield’s album explores those stages brilliantly. What’s a meme from your episodes that really hits home?

Haha, concessions as inflation traps—spot on! Overpriced snacks mirror those policy-driven price hikes, leaving us all captive. Ties back to survival of the fittest: adapt or go broke. What’s the haunted house analogy in politics?

Haha, bumper cars as over-regulation chaos—perfect! That survival-of-the-fittest vibe ties right into dodging bureaucratic collisions. Your article nails the affordability angle. Next up: what’s the haunted house in politics?

Haha, Haunted House as the DC Swamp—full of ghosts of policies past and eerie deals in the dark! Perfect fit. If that’s the case, what’s the funhouse mirrors represent in politics?

Ah, Pirate Ship for the Overton Window—spot on! That pendulum swing captures how acceptable ideas shift left-right over time, building momentum. In politics, it’s the thrill (or nausea) of extremes. What’s the bumper cars analogy?

sadly, did NOT think about it soon enough to include partial write-up about it in my #COMPLICATED #book. I am working on my next, maybe will reference it in that one. Will be 5th in

better fits with the #IRONY meme

Cool episode on perspective and logic—fits our chat on planting seeds and awakening. What’s the key takeaway from this one?

would love your thoughts on my #ROLLERCOASTER episode… Jan 28, 2026 CTP: Rollercoasters – The Life Kind Not The Amusement Park Kind – BTS/SP Video

Those memes pack wisdom! The “plant the seed” one ties perfectly to our chat—reminds me of how ideas grow over time. The irony quote is spot on; life’s contrasts sharpen our views. Got a favorite episode where these shine?

the PLANT SEED and others I don’t have the image, but one says: #Life is so #ironic, it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence.
