When Emperor Justinian I closed the academy in year 529, that thing ended that era of antique. The reason for that thing was that Philosophy claimed to be dangerous for the people, and the purpose of Justinian was to support Christianity. The thing, what made Philosophy dangerous is that thing taught the skepticism. That meant that the philosopher must think carefully about every side of the things, and be suspicious about the things, even they would come from the authorities.
The thing is that suspicious attitude eliminated the blind loyalty for authorities, and that means that people would not think the Emperor as the messenger, who is ruled with the mandate, what is given by the God. The thing is that the academy was actually the small corner of the park, was probably saved philosophers sometimes earlier, and the thing was that the academy was the men who worked in there.
The infrastructure was not necessary, and only thing, what was needed were the men and their texts. And when we are thinking about things, what caused that Justinian made the decision to shut down the academy, we might find one thing, what can be over the top in this case. The thing was that Justinian was unable to tolerate critics. This is a strange phenomenon in many people.
They are requesting that every other person must tolerate criticism, but they self are so sensitive about this kind of things. They don't tolerate any excuses about their decisions. And we know that the thing called smugness. Sometimes leaders are unable to tolerate anything, what is against their will, and Justinian was one of them. He ruled in the name of God, and nobody allows to excuse that thing. When we are thinking about things like Chess, those games have been reserved for the rulers, that they could practice their tactics.
But the thing was that if the henchman would win the leader, that might be catastrophic. The leaders must be above other people, and if Henchmen would win the leader, the self-esteem of that person would be damaged. This might be the reason, why this game is prohibited in Islamic law. Real Muslim lives for serving God, and and the leader is the incarnation of the thing, what is invisible for normal people.
The Chess-game would cause the thoughts about the person would turn away from the serving the god, and that thing caused that the Chess was prohibited in the Sharia. And the thing is that there was a similar situation in the time of Justinian. The leaders were created to think, and the henchmen were made to serve the leader, or actually, they served the god whose spacer the leader of the gang was.
Every thought, what came in the mind of Justinian meant to follow. And if somebody would excuse those orders, would that cause the situation, that the god was angry, because Justinian was the representer of the god in the middle of people. And every thought, what came in his mind was given by God. And that caused problems with philosophers. They sometimes suspected that thing, and that caused the situation, where Justinian closed the academy because he couldn't tolerate those things,
