I agree with most of these but the cause isn’t computers. Computers are just another thing to add to the list


When you say "the cause isn’t computers", do you mean that within the complex causality that underlies it, computers are nowhere to be found?


If you look deeply enough into the 'complex causality' you'll find anything you want. It doesn't mean much by itself.


You may, but not me.

Though, I suspect you are like most people in that if you gaze into the unknown (which is what we are dealing with here), you will see what you want to see.

You see, the actual causality is unknowable, so your mind has generated a simulation of what "the" casualty is.

This is clearly obvious, is it not?


I'll play along with your attempt at armchair psychology. What makes you special that you are immune to this effect you propose I suffer from? Are you not just seeing what you want to see? Why is your simulation of causality better than mine?
