  1. The law of causality teaches us that every effect has a cause. This principle isn't just philosophical; it shapes our understanding of the universe. From the tiniest particles to the grandest galaxies, everything is interconnected. How do you see this law influencing your daily life? #Causality #Philosophy #Science #Interconnectedness #Existence

  16. #Mining sub-Saharan Africa is expanding rapidly. This poses a key threat to tropical forests.

    "For every hectare of direct deforestation due to the mine footprint, mining triggers, on average, 34 hectares of additional offsite loss within five years through ancillary activities, including agriculture and settlements. Mines extracting cobalt and copper—key energy transition minerals—caused the highest amount of additional deforestation."

  26. Three legs are needed for deductive causal inference:
    "Without assumptions regarding construct validity, one cannot accurately label the cause or outcome. Without assumptions regarding external validity, one cannot label the conditions enabling the cause to have an effect. If any of the assumptions regarding internal, construct, and external validity are missing, the claim is not deductively supported. The critical role of theoretical and substantive knowledge in deductive causal inference is illuminated by making such assumptions explicit. This article critically reviews approaches to identification in causal inference while developing a framework called causal specification. Causal specification augments existing identification strategies to enable and justify deductive, generalized claims about causes and effects. In the process, we review a variety of developments in the philosophy of science and causality and interdisciplinary social science methodology."

  31. 1/2 A night of semi sleep. Mind churning away on this irritating observation - #Intuition in #Physics and #Mathematics are not the same thing. In both cases observables make some problems look like they should not be difficult, but they remain remarkably resistant to solution.
