I like the question 'Does "cause" exist?' because it exposes the fact that basic terms haven't been defined and axioms haven't been made clear. This kind of discussion can (and definitely has, in my opinion) devolved into meaningless rambling as a result of vague or missing definitions. I didn't read the whole article either, obviously (way too long), so I may have missed the author defining things. Even the question "Why does anything exist?" is never really broken down and defined. What kind of answers are we looking for? When dealing with philosophical stuff it's crucial to define terms very carefully. If you can't make clear definitions, you're in the realm of nonsense.
