Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
The clan is for those interested in intellectual pursuits(thus the name). You don't have to be a college professor to join, just have an interest in the higher arts. Politics, philosophy, history, or just books...you like it, you can come.
We are the free thinkers; while we learn from the past, we are not defined by it. We stand at the end of no tradition, but rather at the beginning of one.
It's kinda pretentious and silly, but you know.

T2 and I were talking, and we decided that it would be so much cooler if we were doing this in the Ivory Tower again.
So, here's the Ivory Tower. Reborn from the ashes.
Have at it.
What he said.
Also, to add a bit of description, the Ivory Tower is a clan devoted to intellectual pursuits of various kinds---politics, literature, philosophy, religion, astrophysics, pants, and other ultimately pointless endeavors. We are hopelessly elitist, but also, friendly to all. Figure that one out, comrades.
I'm effusively apologetic in saying this (i.e. posting here, without your unanimous express consent) but a simple façade's handle has been changed to ButteBlues.
T2, of all physics, I understand why you have specified astro, but are you implying that you aren't to discuss other forms of science? Science, after all, is derived from the Latin for knowledge, and ultimately from scire, "to know", which is the foundation for this clan of intellectual pursuits.:B:
Also, "We are hopelessly elitist, but also, friendly to all. Figure that one out, comrades" is not a paradox.
Quote from Slotster »
Sounds cool, ive always been a bit of a history nerd
Might join later.
I'm sure there's more to it than asking, believe you me. That said, Ivory Tower, is there any possibility in befriending more members, at this said moment?

You make a valid point; however, I feel compelled to point out that I'm rubber and your glue. Furthermore, everyone knows that our civilization is based largely on Greek culture, and that Philosophy is derived from the Greek for "love of wisdom," which is (ultimately) the foundations of this clan of intellectual pursuits.

So there.
Thank you for acknowledging my valid point, which I should like to liken to your riposte; however, I must cavil at your unintentional misspelling.
So, sure, although philosophy derives from the Greek philosophia, which as you have aforementioned means "love of knowledge", it is from French and Latin that it has become part of the language in which we converse, English. Point being, Greeks came up with the concepts, while Romans refined and developed them. Oh, and the Romans are why we are here as we are, speaking a Germanic language, with Scandinavian, Norman-French, and Graeco-Latin influence, agreed?
I must say, with the recent influx of pointless clans, it warms my heart to see such an established group of people return to this forum. I hope you guys return to a consistent acticity level, and return to the strong clan that you were before. It is also nice to see Furor, and Senori back.
Even more impressive coming from an English major.
At any rate I just wanted to say it is great to see you guys back. I hope it will keep up, I have missed lurking these threads. It is, as much as any clan, like friends sitting at a bar and just talking. Or, as it may be, at a library. And for this very reason I will go back to my quiet lurking. Thread subscribed.

Sure. That said, Greek culture, through Alexander the Great, influenced Roman culture in the same way that Rome has influenced us. While we have directly inherited a stronger Roman influence, it is ultimately to Greece that we must pay homage.
"I'm rubber, you're glue?"
Yes.

*peeks in*
I got an invite from T2 this morning . . . so I figured I'd say hi.
Since I already am a member of another clan and of an over-clan, could I possibly still have "friend" status?

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
Most certainly, Mamelon. Feel free to post anytime.
Well, neat-o.
I've scanned this clan on occasion, but I will ask anyway - what do y'all tend to talk about 'round these parts?

Aw man... if I had left Dimir a week later then I'd have joined this clan in an instant. As it is, though, I've joined RBS. But I'd love to be friended, since this definitely a clan with a great purpose.
Everything, really. Oftentimes it's just everyday banter about school, work, concerts, random crap that's happened, books we're reading, and the like. Other times we've had long, serious discussions about (for example) the minimum wage, revolution, books, religion, and everything else.
EDIT:Sure, Mortal Wombat. Friends are always welcome.

Okey-dokey, then. So if I post some long-winded craziness here, someone may perhaps read it, and like, respond?
That'd be kind of like Christmas. I think it's why I started hanging out in Debate.
It's interesting seeing you back, T2. Not to mention Senori and Furor. How have you all been?

I have been busy with school work enough to not have done anything worthwhile.

Also, we're always looking for new friends.
extremestan: Indeed
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:
"Go forth, and read my blog."
It is moral imperative that any action which results in Furor's return to posting is Good.
Mi causa es su causa
From out that wine-dark fog,
And spake he unto all our crew:
"Go forth, and read my blog."
So, sure, although philosophy derives from the Greek philosophia, which as you have aforementioned means "love of knowledge", it is from French and Latin that it has become part of the language in which we converse, English. Point being, Greeks came up with the concepts, while Romans refined and developed them. Oh, and the Romans are why we are here as we are, speaking a Germanic language, with Scandinavian, Norman-French, and Graeco-Latin influence, agreed?
"I'm rubber, you're glue?"
How about members and the criterion?
Furor, is that you?:o
No, it was me, wrong account, sorry.
Even more impressive coming from an English major.
At any rate I just wanted to say it is great to see you guys back. I hope it will keep up, I have missed lurking these threads.

Likely. That's sort of what we're all about
Things have been well on my end of things. Rather tedious, actually. Tedium, though, is preferable to excitement in some cases.
How about yourself? How've you been?
