Nothing lasts forever before the onslaught of inexorable time. Truths and postulates that seemed unshakable become decrepit and lose their power. Even the most bitter lessons of the past are sooner or later forgotten. An insatiable thirst for change requires one to reject the absurd, ossified dogmas that stand in its way. It is impossible to move into the future while continuing to cling to old habits. But when old laws no longer work and new ones have not yet been written, a period of anarchy and chaos inevitably ensues. A completely different Game begins. A game without rules.
