Do we learn by inductive reasoning? Does this involve causality? I'm not convinced. I hope I keep an open mind, though.

From a practical (physical) point of view with respect to a mathematical representation of a system:
non-causality = dependency on future states/events
indeterminism = unknowable uncertainty
A philosopher might possibly use the terms "non-causal determinism" and "causal indeterminism"

What are you calling 'non-causality' and 'indeterminism'?
-
So what did happen before the Big Bang? ;)

Thank you for your understanding of free will. My problem with this entire "free will" issue is that the used terms are not defined precisely in advance (Don't confuse non-causality with indeterminism -- which are two different properties. Perhaps a good advice is to look up Prof Dr Thomas Buchheim who has recently published his thoughs about freedom in general without the necessity of (in)determinism).

Yes. I agree that the ideas like a break in causality lead to very serious issues for us. Since we learn based on inductive reasoning which ASSUMES that causality is real. Without causality, we cannot learn. Therefore, there is no way to discover a lack of causality. A fundamental epistemological quandry.

well i cant say what really exists or doesnt. BUT there are many psychological process that we are not aware of which influence us. we are actually only aware of a small portion of what our brain does. just keep asking urself why u did X, and u will uncover interesting stuff, whatever u wanna call it.
