a world or atmosphere where intellectuals engage in pursuits that are disconnected from the practical concerns of everyday life. As such, it usually has a pejorative connotation, denoting a willful disconnect from the everyday world; esoteric, over-specialized, or even useless research; and academic elitism, if not outright condescension by those inhabiting the ivory tower.

Exodus

~by St.Ego

In the end there will be nothing
Nothing left to burn
In the end, the flame's extinguished
Drowned in the floodland's churn
Somewhere on the Ark that's vanished
Noah sails again
Somewhere in the water's churning
Noah rides again
On a ship that's gone
On an ocean vanished
You and I will drown
The end is near
The flame's extinguished
God is coming down
He'll sear your soul
And raze your mind
He'll leave you nothing, child
God will come
And take your soul
Bereft of sin and undefiled.
