A life without rules

Imagine living in a world without rules. 

• Language follows rules. Breaking away from the rules of language makes us incoherent.
• Consider the rules of sport or games, the rules of chess or football. Without the rules, chess wouldn't be chess. A game without rules is no game at all.
• Daily norms tell us what we can and can't do and make our social interactions run smoothly.
• Rules about driving on the left or the right, not littering, queueing are the building blocks of a harmonious society.
