Yea. "Life is an amusement park ride" is a pretty privileged take. If life is like an amusement park ride, there are about 500-1000 people in the world actually riding it, and the remaining 8 billion or so of us are operators, maintenance staff, concession stand workers, and groundskeepers keeping it fun for those 500-1000 riders.
I believe the sentiment is that it’s a ride because it consists of synthetic stimulus, not because it is enjoyable.
Do you really need to be a billionaire to feel like life is like an amusement park?
