What you're saying insinuates I must turn on the sprinkler when it rains, which is not true. Just because I have my whole life doesn't mean I will for eternity.

What you're saying insinuates I must turn on the sprinkler when it rains, which is not true. Just because I have my whole life doesn't mean I will for eternity. It's simply a correlation - I tend to turn on the sprinkler when it rains. The only causation is that the grass becomes wet when the sprinkler turns on.
- benched 13y agoThe only way this would have meaning for me would be if causation has a special, jargon meaning in this context that specifically means direct, deterministic causation.
