(me) thinks of the utter stupidity of the unfortunate bird who is unable of
picking the causal law at stake, for once literally at the stake where she will
be cooked.
The causal law is that the farmer feeds the chickens to fatten them in order to
eat them.
The lotus eaters will immediately explain that that was "not proved', thereby
providing final proof of their laughable conceits as well as dooming the
chickens.
Why don't people think while muttering Quatsch?

One thinks of B. Russell's chickens, who correlate the farmer's appearance with
feeding. Farmer-->feeding, Farmer-->feeding, Farmer-->feeding, and, for what
chickens consider forever, Farmer-->feeding.
Then one day the farmer shows up with an ax and a chopping block.

sir, you keep not answering the question (something Hume was aware of and
tried, at least to answer in ways that are not the usual idiocies of the causal
"skeptics".) to repeat, let us assume for the sake of discussion at any rate,
that correlations are there.
