Observing repeated correlations isn't enough to establish causation, even though it might be pointing us in the right direction. We need to figure out why one is causing the other if it is. We can figure this out through imagination and different observations. To become aware of that necessary relationship which is deductive in nature. To become aware of what is necessitating what. Something along the lines of if there is a water molecule there must be an atom of oxygen but for causation or necessitation. I say this while being aware that logic is relative to a degree or maybe just relative. #philosophy #metaphysics #induction #causation #cause

in medicine they verify causation by checking dose dependence. Meaning if they observe that a potential medicine improves some condition, they know they are on to something, but it's not enough. If it turns out the result is independent on the dose, then the result was actually trash. I know there exist some other statistical tests for this but I don't know what they are.

Edit: might be a good starting point

@licho I don't know if that goes far enough for me or not. For me cause can only be known by establishing that logical relationship. Still, it works and I wouldn't rally against it, haha. Also thanks for the link!

L’homme marque de son empreinte le territoire qu’il habite, inscrivant dans le paysage les traces de son occupation. Éléments vernaculaires de nos paysages, témoins du temps passé, révélatrices du temps présent ou supports du temps qui s’écoule, elles sont le reflet de la situation sociale, économique et politique de ceux qui vivent là. Cette série photographique, initiée en 2011, montre cela, constituant un "portrait de lieu", personnel et subjectif. Le "portrait de lieu" de la France d’aujourd’hui. D’ici et de maintenant.
Man leaves his mark on the territory he inhabits, inscribing the traces of his occupation in the landscape. Vernacular elements of our landscapes, witnesses of the past, revealing the present, or bearing the passage of time, they reflect the social, economic, and political situation of those who live there. This photographic series, initiated in 2011, shows this, constituting a "portrait of place", personal and subjective. The "portrait of place" of today’s France. From here and now.

"The chatbot company Character.AI will ban users 18 and under from conversing with its virtual companions beginning in late November after months of legal scrutiny.

The announced change comes after the company, which enables its users to create characters with which they can have open-ended conversations, faced tough questions over how these AI companions can affect teen and general mental health, including a lawsuit over a child’s suicide and a proposed bill that would ban minors from conversing with AI companions.

“We’re making these changes to our under-18 platform in light of the evolving landscape around AI and teens,” the company wrote in its announcement. “We have seen recent news reports raising questions, and have received questions from regulators, about the content teens may encounter when chatting with AI and about how open-ended AI chat in general might affect teens, even when content controls work perfectly.”"

"There is a reason China has made protecting visas for Chinese students a top priority," Marc Thiessen writes.

"They help the Chinese Communist Party carry out what [Christopher] Wray called 'the largest and most sophisticated theft of intellectual property and expertise in the history of the world.' Given this fact, why on earth would the Trump administration give the Communist China the opportunity to double the number of its students in the U.S. to help carry out that espionage?"

SAMAEL - Black Matter Manifesto

#NowPlaying #FediRadio #UnoRadio #Musica #Music #Samael



"This year, when states began using an expanded Department of Homeland Security system to check their voter rolls for noncitizens, it was supposed to validate the Trump administration’s push to harness data from across federal agencies to expose illicit voting and stiffen immigration enforcement.

DHS had recently incorporated confidential data from the Social Security Administration on hundreds of millions of additional people into the tool, known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, system. The added information allowed the system to perform bulk searches using Social Security numbers for the first time.

The initial results, however, didn’t exactly back up President Donald Trump’s contention that noncitizen voting is widespread. Texas identified 2,724 “potential noncitizens” on its rolls, about 0.015% of the state’s 18 million registered voters. Louisiana found 390 among 2.8 million registered voters, a rate of about 0.014%.

Instead, experts say, the sweeping data-sharing agreement authorizing DHS to merge Social Security data into SAVE could threaten Americans’ privacy and lead to errors that disenfranchise legitimate voters."

In order to understand #Capitalism, you have to understand that it views #HumanResources the same as it views natural resources: as something to be extracted. Furthermore, all negative consequences aka circularity is "externalized" as resource extraction is used to line the pockets of #Capitalists.
