https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4SbT-OKu7s Ok. According to an
   analysis of my writings done by ACT-DL, I talk about
   [1]#causation an awful lot. 913 of my writings involve
   causation, at a "certainly" level average of "0.11".** That 0.11
   might be low, if it wasn't for the fact I seem to talk about it
   a lot. Anyhow, I looked into it.* What is causation?* Why would
   this little Library AI tool from a Canadian library think I talk
   about it a lot? Well, I listened to this 3 minute video on
   "Causal Thinking vs Effectual Thinking". And yes, yes and yes.*
   I've been writing about this forever and had no idea until just
   now that it was called "Causal Thinking" and "Effectual
   Thinking".* [Goals vs Using-What-You-Have-At-Hand].
   [2]#mindblown for me.* I've taken it to an extreme - the future
   you can talk to the past you and let it know what it needs to
   do. [goals!? Never thought of it as goals - or - 'causal
   thinking']... and "look at your arms.* How far do they reach?*
   Maybe everything you need is right here in front of you all
   along"... this is how I would talk.* That's called "Effectual
   Thinking". I didn't know that.* I had no idea it had names.* Now
   I do. I can't tell you the relief this is for me.* It just is.*
   I no longer have to think, "I HAVE THIS GREAT NEW IDEA THAT I
   HAVE TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD!".* It's not new at all... just new
   to me, and I've enjoyed putting it together in various poetic
   and descriptive ways. I'll continue to.* But at lest I know I'm
   not alone.* Not at all.* I just didn't see the connection 'til
   now.
