and at the same time, video game developers don't "cause" video games. They develop them.

@syazwankhan

I'm not sure you're really understanding what I mean by Aristotlean "cause." Sure, in the really abstract sense of the term the developer "caused" tevideo games to be made. But we don't use that word in that way. We don't say Christopher Columbus "caused" the birth of a nation. That extends the definition of the word to limits which render it useless. So what "caused" natural selection? The Earth's existence.

@ichiboku1 video games developer caused video games to be created. nothing illogical here. it makes sense.

@syazwankhan

yes, everything has a "cause" but not in the sense of the old billiard ball metaphor of cause. Aristotle's chain of causal events was a misunderstanding of causal behavior. When one ball hits another ball one could say that ball A caused the movement of ball B. But it doesn't make much sense to say..what "caused" video games to be created. The system is more complex than that.

[syazwankhan]

@ichiboku1 Everything that occur in this world has a cause. Your explanation doesnt make sense to me.

[ichiboku1]

@syazwankhan

it doesn't require a cause because it isn't some "thing." It is a process. Asking what caused natural selection is like asking what caused my coffee to be made in the morning. The coffee is made through a complex process. Natural selection is just living organism dying out and surviving. Those that survive get their gene passed on.
