Dude goes on to say
but my inner statistician/econometrician is screaming you haven't actually established causality yet because you didn't rule out other causes you fucking LIB, you just have a working hypothesis!
Then my inner Marxist tells inner stat nerd to shut the fuck up and think dialectically for once in his fucking life and not go full positivist/empiricist when human behavior is involved.
When you've spent the better part of your twenties learning to think like an empiricist and use a quantitative approach to everything trying to wrap your head around dialectics is a fucking trip.
