Though every tipping of the balance will lead towards a new balance - the greatest problem of our times is, IMO, that the 'tipping' is so fast that a stabilizing effect has no time to occur.

But if we 'zoom out', and look from a greater distance, over a longer period, the effect is noticeable. Whether we like the effect, is another question.
