Is causality a fundamental law of the universe, or is it a concept our minds use to make sense of the world?
quit spamming the board with first year philosophy threads, jeet.
>>24732505The latter, obviously

>>24732505>a concept our minds use to make sense of the world?if anything, the opposite is true. in quantum mechanics, the wavefunction evolves in a purely deterministic manner, but human consciousness erroneously "observes" phenomena that we mislabel as quantum weirdness that appears to violate causality. Because we can't let go of our prejudice that the world should "make sense" ie. be temporally consistent, we convince ourselves that QM makes the world a weird acausal place.In reality no mechanism has ever been posited that allows the wavefunction to evolve in a not-completely-deterministic manner. any appearance otherwise is an illusion.
our entire universe is a domino fall set into motion by our creator

How does the answer effect me on a personal level? if nothing changes in my life the question wasn't worth asking.
>>24732505See Hume. See Kant. See https://philpapers.org/browse/causation
>>24732505It's fundamental to the part of the universe that is possible to describe. We can't go deeper. Quantum whatever doesn't matter, statistical causal relationships are still causal and we can only describe that facet of the phenomena.
