I can't say I am obsessed about causation, but if we wish derive any sort of meaning out of this universe or in our lives then causation for me is vital.-Still no access, but Google finds a summary:-"We default to cause-and-effect thinking to maintain control over our lives and everything that touches them, but some things just don't have clear answers."-David: Of course some questions have no clear answers, but that is why we debate, because humans like to understand and have answers. We are ever curious, and wish to understand the 'why' as well as the 'how'
