  2. 1 " #Nature involves a continual web of #causes producing #effects, which in turn become the causes of further effects, ad infinitum. This need not imply #linearity or #monocausality; there are many causes for every effect ..." 🧵

  3. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on to say, “Why were things of this sort ever brought into the world?” The student of nature will only laugh at you; just as a carpenter or a shoemaker would laugh, if you found fault with the shavings and scraps from their work which you saw in the shop.
     
    [Σίκυος πικρός; ἄφες. βάτοι ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ; ἔκκλινον. ἀρκεῖ, μὴ προσεπείπῃς: τί δὲ καὶ ἐγένετο ταῦτα ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ; ἐπεὶ καταγελασθήσῃ ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπου φυσιολόγου, ὡς ἂν καὶ ὑπὸ τέκτονος καὶ σκυτέως γελασθείης καταγινώσκων ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἐργαστηρίῳ ξέσματα καὶ περιτμήματα τῶν κατασκευαζομένων ὁρᾷς.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 8, ch. 50 (8.50) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

  9. durant un atelier de mon guide, un petit groupe picnicais ensemble près de la rivière à St-Jérome à l'heure du midi; un des participants nous expliquait une procédure complexe pour séparer les nuages
    mon guide le laisse aller un bout de temps et lui dit "il y rien là, mon père m'a montré comment faire quand j'avais 9 ans."
    il lève la main, regarde les nuages un moment, et les nuages se séparent

    quand nous sommes seuls, je lui demande comment faire

  10. The problem with politics is that everything gets bundled into a group and asking folk to vote for it means you expect them to agree with EVERYTHING.
    That will never happen.
    I am so far out in left field to most people that I could catch a boundary ball, BUT I disagree on some issues.
    If you make being 'Liberal' or 'Socialist' about every single cause, you turn people off.
    First win the battle for the government, then give people a free vote on the other matters.
    Educate them and let them make informed decisions. Ramming your opinions down other folks' throats just alienates them.
    Find the common ground, sort everything else out later.

  18. "En opposition avec l’automatisation du traitement de grand jeux de données qui prévaut actuellement, l’analyse causale affirme que toute conclusion statistique est assujettie à un ensemble d’hypothèse sur les relations causales entre les variables – hypothèses qui ne peuvent être formulées que par un humain ayant des connaissances extérieures sur la signification de ces variables et les relations qui les lient."

  19. #Rascism #causes #othering #raceriots #UKPol An important fact is missing, we live in a society in opposition with itself. The us & them narrative. Conditioned to see ourselves in the light of the 'other'. Addressing this must be a priority. theguardian.com/commentisfree/
