Cause and Effect

This is one of the reasons man is so smart and so stupid. This supposed "law" allowed us to make some of the most astonishing discoveries of human history. It also generated some of the most astonishing misunderstandings about ourselves ever made. Cause and effect doesn't even work in a simple way inside a laboratory. Applied to human matters, is just the most misleading concept conceivable. It asks you, given some determined "state of things", to find the culprit, the one and only responsible for what the case is. But this is not a crime scene. There's no evil spirit causing all our troubles. Reality is so complex that all you can see are clouds of causes, circumstances and conditions, phenomena and next, clouds of effects, changed circumstances and conditions.
