Tradition will never become irrelevant, tradition is an important tool we use to transfer basic know-how related to living. The point I am making is that tradition being rigid and immutable and based on universal immutable truths is retarded because the circumstances which give rise to traditions change and the values which certain traditions teach at certain times become outdated or irrelevant.
Also immutable universal truths don't exist.
I was referring to any given tradition, in a static presentation. Perhaps I should call it Tradition.

Alright, let me break it down this way then.
The moment a tradition stops being the preservation of fire and instead becomes the worship of ashes, it becomes irrelevant.
The analogy assumes every truth perishes. They do not.
