(As opposed to causation by pure chance, accident, or random agglomeration of "smart matter" that suddenly becomes "potent" as a cause of something else, for no apparent reason....)

You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw, famous irrational heathen and fabianist socialist
"Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1

I'll stick with reality, George.

Me too, unspun. The "second realities" I see being spun today look totally inhospitable to, and uninhabitable by, real human beings. JMHO FWIW Plus things that "never were" probably don't have a high probability of ever "becoming something." But then that is a dispute for the combinatoric statistics guys and the Bayseans.... :^)

Thank you so much for writing!
