  1. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    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
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 7, § 38 (2.7.38) (1951)

  2. 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. L’homme s’est construit des images religieuses, politiques ou […]

    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

  7. 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

  9. A quotation from Orwell

    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]
    Essay (1943-12-20), “Can Socialists Be Happy?” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper [as John Freeman]

    The obvious problem being that #Trump will simply make up a "cause" and being a demonstrated, serial, pathological liar, any "cause" Trump manufactures will most likely be a flat-out lie

  16. …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….

  18. Outside of time and space,
    cause and effect collapse.

    No before.
    No after.

    No source.
    No consequence.

    Just what is.

    Cause and effect are the shadow
    cast by movement
    when viewed through time.

    Remove time,
    and the shadow disappears.

    #Cause #Effect

    The event remains.

  19. @urlyman There is a theory that increasing #complexity is the primary #cause of #civilisational #collapse, see Joseph Tainter, The Collapse of Complex Societies, Princeton University Press, 1988.
