Without it, there would be no science or technology. There would be no moral responsibility either, as none of our thoughts would be connected with our actions and none of our actions with any consequences. Nor would we have a system of law because blame resides only in someone having caused injury or damage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAny intervention we make in the world around us is premised on there being causal connections that are, to a degree, predictable.
