Modern materialistic thinking is causally downstream from the erasure from language of the distinction between the 2 types of causes -- as exemplified by the following buffonade:
Arlecchino: does something stupid
Pierrot: smacks Arlecchino across the back of the head
Arlecchino: Ow! What for?
Pierrot: Not "what for", but "why", dumbass.
(Been a bacterium btw. Strong emotions all around, as there's nothing to temper them with. Do not recommend. An opamp is nicer - as long as they make sure to keep you within operating parameters, and not put you in a configuration experiencing infinite positive feedback, lmao)
