− | APC was founded some time between 1997 and 1998 when splittists in the [[Philosophy Club]] decided that they were bored, and wanted a club with a freer flow of ideas, even if those ideas were irrelevant bullshit.

Club activities have, from the beginning, tended less toward the strictly rational and discourse oriented, and more toward the visceral, irrational, and visionary ("[[Drugs|drugs]]"). Not typical to western philosophical discourse, importance is often placed on physical interaction as a means to mental insight or inspiration. | Club activities have, from the beginning, tended less toward the strictly rational and discourse oriented, and more toward the visceral, irrational, and visionary ("[[Drugs|drugs]]").

The movement seems to be dividing into a Bevist camp and a Frostian camp mostly over the distinction between Bevis’ use of materialism to analyze capability and Frost’s contention that humanity is trapped in a neo-original paradigm. The two factions, however, seem to agree on lunch. It is no surprise that post-bunkism has found its way in to politics and it can be said that the movement rejects industrialism in favor of a more egalitarian theocracy. It should be noted that while Frostians promote the use of guerrilla warfare, Bevists have adopted the theory of “permanent election”. | The movement seems to be dividing into a Bevist camp and a Frostian camp mostly over the distinction between Bevis’ use of materialism to analyze capability and Frost’s contention that humanity is trapped in a neo-original paradigm.

* A militant wing of the club made an effort to secure a B2 Bomber to facilitate their war on the campus chapter of D.A.R.E. Tragically, those funds were not approved by Student Senate. Luckily, by the end of the campaign, D.A.R.E. had no surviving members. | * A militant wing of the club made an effort to secure a B2 Bomber to facilitate their war on the campus chapter of D.A.R.E.
