So I've come to terms with the fact that I think it's impossible to prove causality. There's no way I can think of. And I find that great because I don't really see any great need or desire for. I'm more interested in What people experience than Why.

What were you trying to prove? If you were doing an empirical study there are ways to "prove" causality with 99.7% accuracy. I'm sure you already know this...

well i was talking about the human sciences mroe than anything but still - it feels weird to say you prove something when you only have 99.7% accuracy - when I think of something being proved, it's 100%.
