  • In this, the final episode of Get 2 the Point, we start out by recapping the series.  Then, we talk about the U.S. Senate, including the history of the filibuster and the problem of aging Senators who don't have term limits.  After that, we speculate on where the U.S. political landscape is going from here.  Then we smoothly segue from discussing the Senate to discussing how various people have more versus less amounts of power to change things in their lives.

    And the rest of the episode is impossible to sum up succinctly in any way that could do it justice.  But we do end with getting to the point.


    Quick note: What do I mean by fungibility?  In earthly situations, I mean the degree to which you can change your circumstances in life.  And, in dreamlike or heavenly situations, I mean the degree to which you can change the physical environment around you with thought.  Officially, the word's meaning is more about being able to perfectly replace something with something else... but words like convertible and swappable are still considered synonyms for it.  It's hard to find a word that means exactly what I was going for, so I went with that one.


    Acknowledgments: For this episode, I give thanks to all the people who have given me (or have helped lead me to) little bits of profound wisdom here and there over the years.  I was listening, I put it all together as cohesively as I could, and a ton of it even made its way into this episode.
