Turtles And Titanics


At a dinner party, a woman was in conversation with
George Bernard Shaw:

Woman:  “Surely, Mr Shaw, the theory  of evolution
cannot be correct. Everyone knows that the world is
balanced on the back of a turtle.”

G.B.S.: “Indeed, Madam? Then what does that turtle
rest on?”

Woman: “Why, on the back of another turtle,
of course,”

G.B.S. “I see…..and beneath that turtle?”

Woman: “Oh, Mr. Shaw, it’s no use….it’s turtles all
the way down.”

The world economy is a Titanic….
The environment is a Titanic….
Seven billion people is a Titanic….
The New World Order is a Titanic…

It’s Titanics all the way down.

They learned many things from the example of the Titanic....but the most
important by far was to never....I mean ever!...call a ship "Unsinkable"

"While technological advances, migrations, wars and other factors drove change in earlier periods, what sets the next quarter century apart is the way seven “tectonic shifts” are combining to drive change at an accelerating rate,"
(Bloomberg)

should read: "Titanic shifts", in my opinion.
