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

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.

I really am doubting cause-effect here. I think it’s one of those useful dumbed-down cartoons we use to get from A to B and to satisfy our need for a coherent narrative.
But more specifically, yes, the money associations. Shakiness compounded.
