causal-intuition-precedes-causal-formalism

# Causal intuition precedes causal formalism Do-calculus was not invented and then found to match reality; it formalised something humans already sensed. We know, before calculation, that a drug cannot be good for men, good for women, and bad for people overall, even if classical logic struggles to say why. The formalism vindicates the intuition rather than producing it. Causal reasoning, then, is not an add-on to thought but part of its load-bearing structure. We do not merely observe correlations and infer agency; we arrive able to imagine interventions and trace their consequences. The math caught up with the mind. Rests on: [[as-a-man-is-so-he-sees]]
