The cosmological argument holds that everything that begins to exist has a cause, leading to the necessity of an uncaused first cause or creator of the universe.

A quotation from Robert Pirsig
You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it’s going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of dogmas or goals, it’s always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.
Robert Pirsig (1928–2017) American philosopher, writer
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, ch. 13 (1974)More about this quote: wist.info/pirsig-robert/10658/

It is the cause which shatters or exalts the soldier’s strength; if there be no just cause behind him, shame dashes the weapons from his hands.

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

A quotation from Wendell Phillips
These [social questions] have all been kept alive in the cauldron of our agitation, and earned us properly, deservedly, the title of “infidel” and “traitor.” “Infidel” to a church that could be at peace in the presence of sin! “Traitor” to a state that was a magnificent conspiracy against justice.
Wendell Phillips (1811–1884) American abolitionist, orator, social activist

I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious, and sacrifice, and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the sacrifices were like the stockyards in Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American writer

"Darwin’s biggest contribution was to show us that all individual organisms are connected through time. It doesn’t matter whether you compare kangaroos, bacteria, humans, or salamanders, we all have incredible chemical similarities….
Vernadsky showed us that organisms are not only connected through time but also through space. The carbon dioxide we exhale as a waste product becomes the life-giving force for a plant; in turn, the oxygen waste of a plant gives us life."

Sois ce que tu es
On constatera dans ce processus que tous les problèmes et tous les conflits ont pour cause une vision fragmentaire. À mesure que notre vision est moins fragmentaire et par conséquent plus globale, nous voyons les contradictions se réduire en oppositions et les oppositions s'atténuer peu à peu pour devenir des complémentarités. Les complémentarités apparaissent alors comme des aspects de l'unité. Arrivé à ce point on est à la dernière étape. On se trouve devant une unité […] -
The fiercest fanatics are often selfish people who were forced, by innate shortcomings or external circumstances, to lose faith in their own selves. They separate the excellent instrument of their selfishness from their ineffectual selves and attach it to the service of some holy cause. And though it be a faith of love and humility they adopt, they can be neither loving nor humble.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman

La Vérité est un pays sans chemin (Krishnamurti)
Krishnamurti La Vérité est un pays sans chemin Aucune organisation, aucune foi, nul dogme, prêtre ou rituel, nulle connaissance philosophique ou technique de psychologie ne peuvent y conduire l’homme. Il lui faut la trouver dans le miroir de la relation, par la compréhension du contenu de son propre esprit, par l’observation et non par l’analyse intellectuelle ou la dissection introspective.

I suspect nobody is stupid enough to suggest* it is causation.
However, the two probably have a #common #cause, which leads to a sort of correlation deserving urgent attention, and directing it's focus, laser-like or not.* There may be some cynical enough

The cosmological argument suggests everything has a cause, leading to the necessity of a first cause, often attributed to God.
This philosophical reasoning supports the existence of a higher power as the universe's origin

I suggest that the real objective of Socialism is not happiness. Happiness hitherto has been a by-product, and for all we know it may always remain so. The real objective of Socialism is human brotherhood. This is widely felt to be the case, though it is not usually said, or not said loudly enough. Men use up their lives in heart-breaking political struggles, or get themselves killed in civil wars, or tortured in the secret prisons of the Gestapo, not in order to establish some central-heated, air-conditioned, strip-lighted Paradise, but because they want a world in which human beings love one another instead of swindling and murdering one another. And they want that world as a first step. Where they go from there is not so certain, and the attempt to foresee it in detail merely confuses the issue.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

…other than at the #FederalReserve, with its role of setting #InterestRates, #SCOTUS held that presidents have free rein to fire agency heads at will, despite #federal #laws that require a #cause for such dismissals & a 91-year-old decision that had limited #executive authority.
With the 6 conservative justices in the majority, the court jettisoned its unanimous decision in #HumphreysExecutor that had limited when presidents can fire agencies’ board members….
