The Examined Life

Land! Lovers! Aboard!

So, ye've got the daring nerve to come aboard for a voyage, have ye? Then we'll see what you're made of.

For just as the sea hides whirlpools and treasures in it's depths so too does the mind and consciousness.

From the darkest thoughts and deeds that beings do unto one another, sometimes claiming it's 'for our own good' to the profoundly ingenious inventions that have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and lessened the natural wrath of the elements.

And even with a compass rose before ye there are times when none among us truly knows which way be right or wrong.

But a way there is, nonetheless.

Academics, natural philosophers, religious , spiritual, agnostics, atheists, sciences , nerds, homeless but not brainless, professors , experts n all who are curious willing to adverse their articulation to the refined civilly with manners.

The name of our ship is The Examied Life.

9 years strong an counting despite what has been thrown at her. Our adventures are only for the pinnacle of curiosity.

leave behind your inflated parts of your ego on land, Pull your weight, tempt marking a trail even if you are afraid and the crew will look out for each other on this dangerous journey.

Oh I miss the best part! The Chanteys!!

" One ship is very much like another and the sea is always the same. "

" In the immutability of their surroundings the foreign shores, the foreign faces, the changing immensity of life, glide past, veiled not by a sense of mystery but by a slightly disdainful ignorance; "

" for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it be the sea itself, which is the mistress of his existence and as inscrutable as Destiny. "

• The works of Joseph Conrad 1921
