@Fil Albuquerque,
You don't understand how cause and effect works... Ok that's cool... and you don't want to admit it because it would shake your personal worldview... I understand... no problem Wink

@igm,
In fact I have posted about both views how Cause n effect can be reasoned to work and how cause n effect can be properly questioned and doubted. It seams to me you didn't understood neither. Wink

@Fil Albuquerque,

Still waiting for a yes or no Fil...

Is the cause, the energy package and the effect... are all three existing at the same time i.e. the cause, the energy package and the effect (they are all named by you as part of cause and effect)?

Answer my question Fil... yes or no? It's in blue above. Or just say you can't answer yes or no. Don't say anything other than yes, no or neither yes or no.

Or admit that you are avoiding answering a straightforward question.

@Rickoshay75,
It could be argued that cause and effect are in the eyes of the beholder.

What constitutes "an event"?
In our effort to categorize the world in terms of causes and effects we are the ones who separate one event from another, and this selection seems to be arbitrary and based on individual motives.

@Cyracuz,
Definitely in the eyes of the beholder. The general dualism practiced by common thought (and transcended by mysticism and quantum theory) is perhaps essential for normal human functioning. This is especially so for the bifurcation between self and other, the inside and outside realities referred to with the distinction between subjectivity and objectivity. As an aside let me suggest that even beauty and ugliness both reside in the mind of the beholder.

@void123,
No. Anthropomorphic descriptions of animal behavior do NOT imply that animals can form human concepts like "cause" and "effect" even if we find it useful to talk in those terms. That experiment lacks a control situation of a say, a neutral object such as a a box entering and leaving the hide, with a machine moving the stick.

What I mean by 2 is obvious to anybody who has read up on Hume, or on the status of "causality" in physics. Which brings me to a general point that I have seen little evidence of value in your belated/one liner contributions to these philosophy threads relative to the level of the previous contributors. I have therefore put you on "ignore" but will review the situation from time to time.

its not a personification its a study.
