Meanings

A gift beyond what is actually due; an addition or superfluity.
An a fortiori occurrence, as a result of another effort without significant additional effort.
- Amidst the lingering consequences of what was probably a lab made pandemic, heightened political turmoil in a world of nuclear weapons, and, as mankind’s first synthetic mind comes closer by the day to waking up, the unknowable implications of general artificial intelligence, the truth is we are clearly at risk of cataclysm. But that is the corollary of life in an age of wonder, a precious gift impossible without the natural dangers inherent of tremendous progress. In other words: yes, we are at risk of the apocalypse, and that is good. 2024 February 14, Mike Solana, “Hereticon: Apocalypse Ball”, in Founders Fund:
- Finally getting that cracked window fixed was a nice corollary of redoing the whole storefront.
- […] he was indeed of the opinion that the spontaneous uprising of the working class would come to nothing unless the party was there to give it shape and direction. This was an obvious corollary of the party's role as the only possible vehicle of socialist consciousness. 1978 [1976], Leszek Kołakowski, translated by P[aul] S[teven] Falla, Main Currents of Marxism, volume II: The Golden Age, Oxford: Clarendon Press, translation of Główne nurty marksizmu: rozwój (in Polish), →ISBN, →OCLC, page 396:
A proposition which follows easily from the statement or proof of another proposition.
