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

Well I was hoping that we would jump straight to discussing the idea instead of spending time explaining it.
I think that attributing ultimate cause, or authorship, or ownership, when it comes to things as serious as money, to be built upon shakey ground
