Where big data is all about seeking correlations - and thus to make incremental changes - small data is all about causations - seeking to understand the reasons why.
Martin Lindstrom
Image
Like many great ideas in biology, the idea implicating infectious causation in chronic diseases, though simple, has far-reaching implications. It is so simple and so significant, that one would think it would have been recognized by many and would be the starting point for any discussion on the causes of disease. Not yet.
Paul W. Ewald
Image
As for the law of moral causation ('karma'): this is human justice dressed up as cosmic justice and then imputed to the impersonal workings of the natural world.
Stephen Batchelor
Image
All is bound by the law of causation
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force certain sensations, to matter certain changes outside, to law certain changes in thought, to mind certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The fundamental activity of medical science is to determine the ultimate causation of disease.
Wilfred Trotter
Image
The enlightened man is one with the law of causation.
Wumen Huikai
Image
The man who is unhappy will, as a rule, adopt an unhappy creed, while the man who is happy will adopt a happy creed each may attribute his happiness or unhappiness to his beliefs, while the real causation is the other way round.
Bertrand Russell
Image
This is absolutely correct and forms part of the larger concept that top-down causation is a key factor not just in the way the brain works but in broader contexts in biology and even physics.
George F. R. Ellis
Image
The parallelism, or denial of any causation between mind and body, derives basically, and fallaciously, from a theory of substances as having complete concepts that include everything that is true of them.
Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
Image
Correlation is not causation.
Kenneth L. Woodward
Image
Often the features metaphysicians are interested in, like causation, time, and essence, involve features that seem so basic or are so generally embedded in the way we experience the world that it takes special attention and focus to draw them out and develop an account of their nature.
L.A. Paul
Image
The English practice of accommodating the rules of commercial law to commercial practice. The line of causation ran from economic need to legal response
Nathan Rosenberg
Image
If ... we choose a group of social phenomena with no antecedent knowledge of the causation or absence of causation among them, then the calculation of correlation coefficients, total or partial, will not advance us a step toward evaluating the importance of the causes at work.
Ronald Fisher
Image
Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All law has its essence in causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The law of Karma is the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every one is as much bound in thought, word, deed, and mind, as a piece of stone or this table. That I talk to you now is as rigorous in causation as that you listen to me. There is no freedom until you go beyond Maya. That is the real freedom of the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Science must constantly be reminded that her purposes are not the only purposes and that the order of uniform causation which she has use for, and is therefore right in postulating, may be enveloped in a wider order, on which she has no claim at all.
William James
Image
Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are the reason or formula by which the world goes on.
Zeno of Citium
Image
From the mid-1970s, I also started work on the causation and prevention of famines.
Amartya Sen
Image
[E]very plot, worth the name, must be elaborated to its dénouement before anything be attempted with the pen. It is only with the dénouement constantly in view that we can plot its indispensable air of consequence, or causation, by making the incidents, and especially the tone at all points tend to the development of the intention.
Edgar Allan Poe
Image
Obviously if any actions, even a lunatic's, can be causeless, determinism is done for. If the chain of causation can be broken for a madman, it can be broken for a man.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
