The duality of good and evil does not work (any more). It is a convenient tool for storytellers who seek to convey simple truths by generalizing, simplifying, and rejecting the nuances that make up reality.

The constantly present past and unclear future in the endlessly stretched present make a dual view of time impossible. The only thing left to us is a sense of guilt. And games.
