The Anti-Consecutivist Devil is in the Details

World War II memoirs testify to the poverty of Consecutivist thought. One would expect that the suffering in the period of collapse would sharpen one's faculties of mind, but most memoirs display dry Consecutivism: that is, their authors--with the caveat that most of these texts were written long after the fact, when their authors must have succumbed to the restorated unbound Consecutivism--ruminate about the dry topics so dear to the Consecutivists. Tragedy, hardship, man's cruelty to man--all these themes ring hollow to a reader liberated by Anti-Consecutivism. For it is only when one refuses to adopt the prescribed hermeneutical frameworks drenched in Consecutivist non-sequiturs that one can truly be cooperative to the Anti-Consecutivist truthmodel. The Devil, to invoke the Consecutivist proverb, is in the details: it is only by paying attention to the details that one can see the big picture.
