| Summary: | <p>I find it quite hard these days to keep my balance. Some say it’s my age and others blame the claret. But my tottering is philosophical, not physical. Can I resist the claims for any change that it is an irreversible, mould breaking paradigm shift, without holding instead that everything has happened before, and nothing works?</p> <p>I do find it striking how much analysis of current affairs is based on one or other of these points of view.
