Seq 1: Fallibalism > Red pajamas
Fallibalism means exactly what one would expect: The ability to be in error - profoundly (bear this last in mind as you rede on). Poetic excerpt from the OED:
"... knowledge is never absolute but always swims, as it were, in a continuum of uncertainty and of indeterminacy...."
With its Æsopian and cannibal homonymy (noting the perceived benefits of same in e*sequitur 71), it is a rich word, like the recently uncovered minarchy (minarchism, another dastard), a state of minimal government (this from the Greek archon [leader]) and suggesting demarchy (whereby people lead) as opposed to the popular word: democracy, in which the people merely rule (and the ever-popular kleptocracy), which has led to such linguistic travesties as gynecocracy (haplologically gynocracy; but we must love λοπαδοτεμαχοσελα..., κτλ, the 171-letter example of politically correct fricassee, the ingredients of which included shark brains, in Aristophanes' Assemblywomen) (OMG, it's a Victorian book title [> {N.B.: ">" signifies a sequitur, as in "goes to"} this highly entertaining e*sequitur - on the domestic uses of birch] - by the no doubt pseudonymous [see U.S. Copyright Office: Pseudonyms for guidance in the event that you intend to use a nom de plume] Viscount Ladywood, 1893, in the coterie of Sacher-Masoch (Venus im Pelz), de Berg (L'Image), Boito (Senso), Huysmans (À Rebours), Nin (Delta of Venus), Réage (Historie d'O), Sade, etc.; although the pure intellectual pornography of the lascive Bataille's milky, taurine

(offline [if downloadable here], natch [relegated, no doubt, with {strongest negativity warning} Salò to Pasolinia {a mythical locale whose creator was said to "consider cinema to be writing (transformed into) reality"}]. Excerpt [adult content]:
"... and if Simone and I were killed, then the universe of our unbearable personal vision was certain to be replaced by the pure stars..."
[oh! you must rede on, remembering
e*sequitur 9: {extreme graphic violence} Un chien andalou
]) must win. Of course minarchy > libertarianism (and "objective"[ist] economism) (endgame spoiler alert: as for them, they are intact and they don't care; exactement: "... moi, je suis intact, et ça m'est égal"). Cesar Chavez suggests that these "people" (cf. Shonagon on snow in e*sequitur 5) rely on broad indifference: "Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community." If we are lucky, they will be dealt with eventually.
Fallibalism has a special place given its connotation in religion relating to G-theories (it's all about makin' that G-T-A) and the Prelate (ferro, ferre, tuli, latus); and its implications in philosophy / science - perception as fallible (fallo, fallere, fefelli (Zounds/Zooks!*), falsus) - the deception of the senses (the dystopian [see Seq 8] Mr. Huxley [and Seq B] triumphantly despairs).
e*sequitur 10: Gadzooks
(1694, says the dictionary) - Oh, J, this could mean "G*d's hooks" as in crossnails(!) (the parenthetical exclamation mark used in the sense of a chess move - surprising and brilliant - and - bonus points for perceptivity - a nailian [palindrome homage to Carroll {Dodgson}] rebus). Unless a fan of torture and/or state murder devices as corporate symbols (noting that crucifiXion contains its own rebus, and G*d's [what a kidder] deliberate "crucifiction"), one is abashed. What are the implications of subscribing to the notion of life as
e*sequitur 11: Hobbesian
(true, no doubt, for many between 1588 and 1679)? One might rede an article about long-haired youth at murder and brothelhopping in Shakespearean England (J. Plumb [nom?],"A return to manliness," Horizon, Winter 1967 - spectacular humanist periodical). Plus ça change, plus c'est la mème chose. From Hobbes'
e*sequitur 12: Leviathan,
Chapter XIII: BTW, "the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" was not a general description of the necessary human condition, but rather a reference to the condition of humanity in a hypothetical state of nature, or the "war of all against all" (or anarchy - observe coherence). Hobbes (although a deist and monarchist) was certainly no apologist for infinity (nor was the candid Al-Ma'arri [no one's fool]): requirement of an afterlife didn't follow. So who likes minarchy and why? What are its uses? The logic behind giving the masses (patience! we'll get to them soon enough) an Exemplar who defied authority (the submission to which is moral bedrock for this cohort) and was thus punished is illlogical (new Scrabble word; recall analogical, e*sequitur 1) (if it has become, over time, useful) (Little voice: Justement, monsieur le correspondent, the message is quite clear: "Conform and obey... or else," or, as provident (having prepared a message for posterity [again, better, futurity]) expat Descartes posthumously declared on his f**k-you-stone: Bene qui latuit, bene visit ["He who hid well, lived well"]), prompting a mentally energetic reder to immediately draft eris [her or his] own futuritive afflation.
Hobbes was a contemporary of Milton and Pepys (as noted earlier, e*sequiturs follows Pepys [blogger prototype par excellence], contrasted in its hypersynaptic cerebration, Nocturnal Time Zone (NT), non-Capital location and mere verbal intercourse - compare
e*sequitur 13: involuntary celibacy
[incel] [vs. the seduction community, whose terms of art include lairs, supplication, kino, peacocking {185 varieties} and the inner game] among the Victorian Factory Class [because they had no time - this will recur]). Pepys lived through the Second Plague, the Fire and the Dutch Wars (proverbially interesting times in a stroke disproving the notion that any current times are ever anomalously or excessively unstable). One mustn't forget the perennially delightful millenarian (how charming and apt that members of the currently emerging generation are called Millennials [as in Teotwawki-ers {see*sequitur 49}]) (and of course there are amillennialism [aka nunc millennialism or realised millennialism - which maintains that we are now in a benevolent period ;-) ], premillennialism [Chiliasm], Futurism [not the artistic movement] and postmillennialism [whose adherents might be Preterists {not a variety of, but not necessarily not pederasts}], too [this in the event that you have been unaware of or inattentive to the activities of divinity schools]) Mary Cary, Fifth Monarchist (> incoherent Levellers), committed to the destruction of the Antichristian (double entredrist, too) Fourth Monarchy (no really, The Little Horns Doom and Downfall, 1651), inspired by the year 6666 (when all is revealed, well after madman Newton's [Gen-Y, and a probable disappointment to a passing {as we might imagine} Hobbes, lazing under a fruit tree {and compare the endearingly lazy Juan Tamad's ingenious utilisation of Newtonian gravity for guavas}, doubtless staring into space] hoped-for world's end [just kidding, 1666 {Cary & Co.}, 2012 {end date of a/the Mayan calendar period; see Seq E} and 2060 {Newton}; and which, one notes, like every other predicted apocalyptic event, has - SURPRISE! - failed to materialise]) (and see the Journal of the House of Lords, 21 September 1666) (or as one of my students said [and I quote],
"The future doesn't matter: we'll all be dead."
[In my role as educator,] my speech is chilled so that theirs can be free.)
e*sequitur 14: "And the Beat Goes On"
(Mixolydian mode; cf. Norwegian Wood). "Electric... scores," indeed. Perseverance is always rewarded redeing e*sequiturs. And y'all'll llove this version, with its vulgar Simon Says ("touch your brain") teenybopper anatomy lesson introduction. Compare the Velvet Underground's contemporary, more explicit "Some Kinda Love" (@ 1:30; what a difference a beat makes; plus rockstar reference to "dirty French novel" [ooh la la; generic {not Sagan's (nom) Bonjour Tristesse (your e*sequitrist's mostest greeting?) or Genet's Notre Dame des Fleurs (wherein "well-to-do captives of a dice-shaped cell...")?}] - and dreams of the surreal Coccinelle and her Pompeian precedent [and note D'Israeli pere, who stated in his Curiosities of Literature that "Aquinas could gravely debate, Whether Christ was not an Hermaphrodite? Whether there are excrements {auth: Richelieu's (gynecide and feliscide [cf. Mao in e*sequitur 43]; his fourteen purring ["The frequency of the alternation is about 25 times per second"] felines, burned after his death in revenge, included Pyrame and Thisbe and Rubis sur l'Ongle [fond, like Bataille's Simone in xxx*sequitur 8 {and note Mlle. Gall in e*sequitur 86}, of the whitish liquid]) deathbed elixir (in vino fæcitas)} in Paradise? Whether the pious at their resurrection will rise with their bowels?" And so on.]).

The Pleiades (see Dreamtime/Songlines in Anapology and the Cosmic Distance Ladder [aka the Extragalactic Distance Scale], a "sequence of distance scales for the whole universe" whose first rung measures the distance to the Pleiades, thus calibrating the entire scale [and see*sequitur 91]).
