Seq 2: Blue balls > Gray matter

John Humphrey Noyes (1811-1886) constructed his own uni-verse in the tradition of Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) (1), Sultan Suleiman, "the Lawgiver" (whose harem-freed [erstchattel] wife, Roxelana inspired the second movement of Haydn's Symphony 63), polygyne cult leaders Joseph Smith and (imitator) Brigham Young (50 wives by "celestial marriage") and hetpornographer Hugh Hefner. The Oneida Perfectionists practiced complex marriage (explore this in Spencer Klaw's Without Sin and others), with birth control provided by male continence (elsewhere, those kooky Taoists practicing the variant coitus thesauratus). Woof! (Figure 1: Emoticon equation) 8=o×(()) (One may grant that this equation incorporates a rather novel use of infinite octal imagery [cf. the analemma in e*sequitur 1 and Escher in e*sequitur 46].) Excepting the latter, Noyes' (for a bwief histowy of another wewigious wingding: "'Mother Ann' Lee, founder of the Shakers[, w]hile in jail... had a vision... of 'Adam and Eve in carnal intercourse.' She at last knew... that the very transgression which had resulted in the fall of man [sic] in the Garden of Eden was sexual intercourse.") rejection of the concept of sin deserves at least some plaudits, recognising the presence of evil (will get back to this) > duality and the human quantification gene; continuing: triune (Confess: Have you ever seen a holy ghost? G*d the Trilobite? Paraclete? Who, pray tell, "invents" this stuff, and why?);

(1) The Genghis Khan Effect: note the claim that "about 8 percent of the men in a large region of Asia" share "a Y-chromosomal lineage" (no continence there; smiling Egyptian god [and stand-up guy] [adult content] Min would approve). Light perusal of [adultlike content]

e*sequitur 15: A Poly-English Dictionary
yields poly quads (you're already having a novel day :-) ); e*sequiturs celebrates the ingenuity (the in-genius-ness [be assured that the djinn will have their day in e*sequiturs]) and imagi-nativity of the evolving ape - sapiens - in actualising the most elaborate fabrications, e.g., crackpotisms, under rational (moaning yes, yes, oh yes) guises; Pentateuchs (understatement: these documents [Gen, Ex, Lev, Num, Deut {there she is again standin' over by the record machine}] contain some whoppers) - all the way to

e*sequitur 16: Buckminster Fuller,
Bucky Balls (Fullerenes, from the "Planet's Friendly Genius" - a deep dive, he) and hexamodular (an apparition of Borges, in La biblioteca de Babel [see*sequitur 65], reveals a universe "consisting of an endless expanse of interlocking hexagonal rooms" including the master "Crimson Hexagon") geodesia. As Marshall Mathers would say, "a visionary (vision of scary)" said to be concerned with the sustainability of the human race ("As early as 1959, Newsweek reported that Fuller predicted the conquest of poverty by the year 2000"; how quaint [disclosure: your correspondent has been cited for optimism and utopian proclivities - and heavily fined if not stoned to death {note to vigilant males who take instruction from heraldically sable canines: Do not do this! - C. familiaris}]; this followed by Carl Jung's "The [as the Pixies sing: "then G*d is"] Seven Sermons To The Dead" on the dangers of identifying with the [individualistical] unconscious). On the subject of numerology,

Dramatic aside (For those who rede this document in the future)

e*sequitur 18: Anna
In Gigaannum (Ga; NO REALLY! Our brave scientists are already doing this! They just haven't told anyone, no doubt in fear of the wrath of the "recent [young] earth" creationists [e*sequiturs promises to deliver on this lot {and the Inquisition} later]) 4.570002008 (i.e., geological [not theological] time [this poetic "deep time" first proposed by Persian Avicenna, later by Chinese Shen Kuo {e*sequitur 100, but no skipping ahead to the end} and, modernly, by Scottish James Hutton] [also note that in re Exaanna, "Ea is not a practical unit for use in cosmology, or most other branches of science, because the age of the universe is not considered to be more than 14.7 Ga, or 0.0000000147 Ea" (... "0.43 exaseconds equivalent to the approximate age of the Universe"); that history only begins in Ga 4.5699xxxxx {a rounding error in the age of the earth} eloquently metrifies the recency of humanity]), humans had not yet reconciled the need to control "natural" impulses (ironically maladaptive traits) to achieve a sustainable civilisation. The results were endlessly gruesome; they apparently took pleasure in social conflict (stated baldly: apparently the sports of Domination [and its children Rape {for example, an estimated 2000000 German females ("8 to 80") (as many as 10 percent later suicides) (the bl**dy Huns including Bach, Beethoven, Dürer, Einstein, Ernst, Freud, Goethe, Gutenberg, Hagen, Haydn, Heisenberg [of the uncertainty principle], Jung, Kafka, Kant [hero of the categorical imperative], Marx, Mozart, Rilke [das Ding an sich] and Schweitzer) by Russians (compare Romans in Britain in e*sequitur 3) at the close of WWII, demonstrating the physiological capacities of modern human males (and note the etymologically identical forcible Rapture, whereby those not passively rapt face doom)}, Torture {documented} and Murder {ditto}] and Accumulation [Pr*vate Pr*perty] delivered gigadoses of Dopamine and Adrenaline [i.e., were highly reinforcing and addictive]). It would appear our progress from savagery to barbarism to "civilisation" (with concomitant fire, bow and poetry [a dubious affiliation for the last], as proposed by Lewis Morgan) requires broad definition.

(Despite the distractiveness of doing so, here must be inserted mention of Terrestrial [N.B. proper {pronounce praw'pur}, Coordinated, Geocentric Coordinate {Platonic, i.e., ideal abstract time at the Center of the Earth (what teh hell: Amboy Dukes, "The Journey to the Center of the Mind" the Mind the Mind)}] and Barbarian [osteological, give or take five minutes and see the Doomsday Clock in Seq F] Times.)

(Equally problematic when dealing with Nowists [a mere two half-lives of Carbon-14 {11460 ±80 yrs} exceed their cuckoo clocks] is Human Era calendry, calibrated to the rise of human civilisation, roughly 12000+ years before present [so add 10000 to current date to denote], based on specific Holocenic ["entirely recent"] events, including agriculture, animal domestication, city walls, use of copper [aside, note the intellectually and mathematically problematic Year Zero].)

Reminder to the forgetful: The Gregorian calendar isn't the only one. For example, the Persian (Iranian) calendar, which has been in place since Ga 4.570001079, begins on the Vernal Equinox (March 21-3; the new year being Nowruz), a highly logical day. By this calendar, the year is Ga 4.570001387 (note again that the total elapsed time since the inception of this or the Gregorian calendar year represents a rounding error in the age of the earth). (By the [sacrilegious] Discordian calendar, the year Ga 4.570002008 is 3174 YOLD [Year of Our Lady of Discord]. The Discordian calendar features five seasons: "Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy and The Aftermath"; nearly all Linux distributions are said to incorporate ddate system utilities [note holydays, including Multiversal Underwear Day, [adult content] Spanking Fest and Imaginary Friend Day].)

Exegesis/Proclamation: Effective immediately, time shall be recalendared to terran years to provide a more accurate psychological perspective for the masses as well as a more accurately presented measurement. The question as to whether the lot of supernaturalists (whose principles Hume says the reder might regard as the "playsome whimsies of monkies in human shape") should be put to death (reducing excess global population [see Mumford on NSSM 200] [Biohackers, please! This is not a serving suggestion. - C. familiaris]; the Coliseum stands and Hell-ah-Bar-tin could be hired for its renovation [although [adult content] Kali {she, nude (cf. naturalists ahead in e*sequitur 24); "free from all covering of illusion" "represents the dissolution of (space-time) into its timeless origin (see*sequitur 27).... Her garland of skulls is symbolic of the countless beings she has liberated from attachments to form.... She is the colour of midnight to symbolise the empty nature of all appearances. Shiva lies beneath her.... He has transcended the passions." - Luke Brown)," the black [auth.: or blue; Lou Reed: "don't know just what to do" - "Beginning to See the Light"] nirguna, or ultimate reality (see Void in e*sequitur 27)}, if only she could shed her supernatural shackles and dismount Shiva, would be delighted to, in an act of creative destruction {proponents of transaction-based economics (John Tainter's Runaway Train engineers [Attention: This is on the subject of societal collapse]) insert smiley here}, extirpate the human race {proponents of transaction-based economics insert "sad face" emoticon here}]) shall remain unresolved for now. Which naturally leads to

e*sequitur 19: Cryonists
(compare the final promession), who have shown to their own satisfaction that defrosting (ok, reverse cryonisation [cf. mind control's reverse process of unfreeezing, change and refreezing]; oh, to be an ectotherm or estivant [

Should you alternatively elect to re-electrify me (a Humpty-Dumpty reconstruction challenge [see Seq 4], should you be up to it), I shall be grateful and promise to entertain (if not as well as Sheherazade in the frame story of the

nonsequitur 21: rot13
Those of you not from the future will be relieved to note that e*sequiturs are not enciphered in rot13 (as in rotate 13): "The simple Caesar-cypher encryption that replaces each English letter with the one 13 places forward or back along the alphabet.... A major advantage of rot13 over rot([n])... is that [in English, with its 26 letter alphabet] it is self-inverse, so the same [key] can be used for [enciphering] and [deciphering]." In the mortal words of Mother (Hume again: "Ignorance is the mother of Devotion") Frank Zappa (2:25; in the eponymous biography by Barry Miles),
