Gary Kah: Breakneck Speed
Manage episode 442120681 series 2943844
Mary chats with Gary Kah on this edition of Stand Up for the Truth. The idea of things going at “breakneck speed” had its origin in, of all times, the Victorian era. We get this phrase from the latter half of the 19th century, when Victorian bicycles were made of metal and had these huge, high front wheels, with the rider seated precariously on top and subject to every bump. Now, they do not look safe at all, but the larger the wheel, the faster one could go, was the motive. And the brakes, well those were more symbolic than functional and as soon as the rider hit a rut he went flying forward and landed on his head. I think that describes our world pretty well. There are no brakes in this world apparently, either. But the notion of “breakneck speed” coming from a pre-industrial bicycle is very ironic. On the table today for discussion is the UN Pact for the Future, the coming very significant election, and when all is combined, that tipping point we have all been expecting in the world. The clock is ticking.
