10-2g3d1.1 Humans create their own cause

“Most people, if you describe a train of events to them, will tell you what the result would be. They can put those events together in their minds, and argue from them that something will come to pass. There are few people, however, who, if you told them a result, would be able to evolve from their own inner consciousness what the steps were which led up to that result. This power is what I mean when I talk of reasoning backward, or analytically.” – Sherlock Holmes

The subject is immense,
requiring every order of knowledge and endless information.
Besides, when such a complex whole is in question,
the difficulty of reconstructing the past,
even the recent past,
is altogether comparable to that of constructing the future,
even the near future;
or rather, they are the same difficulty.
The prophet is in the same boat as the historian.
Let us leave them there.

– Paul Valery

The result does not simultaneously determine the cause—mutual determination is closely tied to a deterministic worldview. Put differently, humans create their own causality. Deterministic worldview cannot explain human actions because humans create knowledge.Ayachedevelop

Put simply, we can change the past.
