I'm scrolling through your timeline on X to see if you posted a link to this compelling article, but don't see one. Can you do that?

What's the best way to ride a tiger?"

I'm assuming this is a nod to the old Chinese proverb, "He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount", or maybe Churchill's version, "Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers from which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry" ?

Isn't the whole point of both that, eventually, you have to get off, and the tiger is likely quite angry.

Hold on tight is certainly a take.
