| Description: | Founders: brigadecommander and stalhandske ****************************************** FIAT LUX means Let there be Light. The phrase originates from the Book of Genesis but here its meaning is metaphorical. The intention is to dispel ignorance and to spread information and experiences among fellow Members in all fields of life. We value tough argumentations as long as they fulfil general requirements of decency and respect for the opponent. Humour is not prohibited. ****************************************** "There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous" (Raymond Chandler) ***************************************** Chess comprises both these kinds of truth ***************************************** ABOUT HISTORY: “What is the past, after all, but a vast sheet of darkness in which a few moments, pricked apparently at random, shine?” (John Updike, The Astronomer) ***************************************** Note: Anyone can read club threads but GK requires premium membership for contributing to a club.
