It is this compulsion to look backwards at a time of crisis because one's got no idea of what lies ahead. There is a notion of security that somehow it must resemble the past. It's never going to.

Hey, hasn't anyone heard of Muddy Waters?
Every morning is a battle between the superego and the id, and I am a mere foot soldier with mud and a snooze button on her shield.
