Comment on Cause-effect was always a broken narrative. Twice-broken when you attach a pricetag.

Maybe expand on your point if you want some discussion, your statement doesn’t really make any sense.

But underlining the obvious is so much work on a cellphone.
Ok, I expounded elsewhere in this thread. Look for the big one.

If you don’t want to engage in discourse, why even start a thread?
But ok, you think that events don’t happen because they’re instigated by something else. If I push a domino over, it falls. If I didn’t cause it, what do you think did?

Well I was hoping that we would jump straight to discussing the idea instead of spending time explaining it.

If you’d explained things more articulately to begin with it would have saved you a lot of time!
Ok, you’re not dismissing cause and effect as a whole (i.e. You believe if I pushed a domino over and it fell, I caused it to fall) but don’t believe cause and effect necessarily applies when the effect is the result of a transaction. There are often circumstances where multiple causes result in an effect. e.g. I hadn’t been sleeping well, hadn’t been eating properly and caught a cold, with the effect of failing an exam.
