The Revolution Hidden in Plain Sight
A falling barometer predicts a storm, but smashing your barometer won't change the weather. This simple truth contains a profound insight that eluded scientists for over a century: correlation and causation are fundamentally different. For generations, researchers were trained to avoid the word "cause" entirely, describing findings only in terms of associations and relationships. Yet every medical treatment, policy decision, and technological innovation depends on understanding what causes what. This paradox-that science's most important questions were deemed unscientific-sparked what's now called the Causal Revolution, transforming how we extract meaning from data and opening pathways toward truly intelligent machines.
