There is a cause for every effect, which is what determines results. There is no other rational way to do something than produce and account for the causes that determine effects.

But causes producing effects are abstract relationships. All relationships are abstract. That means nonperceivable. Incompetents cannot determine the relationships in what they perceive. So their reality (and resulting assumptions) is devoid of the relationships that determine what causes effects to occur.

This is why conservatives are so mindless and have to resort to meaningless slogans. They cannot properly represent what causes what to happen. Without that essential element of process, there are no real and effective processes. So conservatives promote values rather than answers to problems.

The pretense of describing a subject looks like a pretense when cause-and-effect relationships are omitted. It's not a proper way to communicate. But it is how promoting is being done. To promote seems to mean: omit the cause-and-effect relationships.

The result is that nothing is going to happen properly until cause-and-effect relationships are accounted for. It's cause-and-effect relationships that determine results.

Cause-and-effect defines subject matter. That critical element is virtually nonexistent in the subject matter of social disputes. Rationality cannot be produced under such conditions. No rationality, no solution to problems.

An example is the claim that social programs must be eliminated to prevent an entitlement society or dependency from existing. Nothing more. Just something about an entitlement society and dependency. That means about half of the workers are supposed to find child care that costs most of their income or not work—some of the cause-and-effect relationships.

Notice what happens when cause-and-effect relationships are considered. It means something needs to be done about the absurdly low income before the subject of entitlement has any meaning.

Another point that becomes relevant with cause-and-effect relationships is, why are a few persons entitled to rip off trillions of dollars per year in creating the problem. The problem cannot be solved until the rip off ends.

Those questions don't exist until cause-and-effect relationships exist. Removing cause-and-effect relationships from a subject is a large part of what demagoguery is. It's railroading subject matter on false pretenses. The pretense is to be solving some problem on the basis of exploited word salad which has no relationship to the causes of the problems.

Conservatives do nothing other than that. They produce fraudulent sloganeering without the cause-and-effect relationships which would expose their fraud—such as corporations burning tax dollars stimulating the economy.

Of course, Trump was the ultimate example of demagoguery railroading the social order. He claimed he was going to solve every problem through the "art of the deal" which he learned in business consisting of beating up opponents to get what he wanted. With that mode of operation, he claimed he was going to fix the rust belt, bring the manufacturing back and end all wars.

In trying to get manufacturing back, no one is talking about the reasons why it left. The managers kept saying so, but no one listened. They kept saying they could not get the employees they needed. There are now two billion persons working on the imported merchandise for the U.S. How could one tenth that many persons do the same thing? Cause-and-effect relationships have to be evaluated to answer such questions.

Nowhere are cause-and-effect relationships considered in arguing social disputes beyond disappearing peripheral material. Not the least reason is because a lot of technical information is needed to evaluate cause-and-effect relationships, while the promoters of causes know nothing about the subjects they promote.

Real scientists used to say, over and over, that hurricanes are not caused by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They were ignored, while know-nothings took over the subject and claimed the science says every weather effect is caused by carbon dioxide. The cause-and-effect relationships say ocean surface temperatures have to increase to increase hurricanes, and the surface temperatures have not been increasing where hurricanes are created over the mid-Atlantic ocean. Over long term, the averages have not been increasing for hurricanes.

Journalists now days claim the science of the subject is that everything related to weather is caused by carbon dioxide. They wouldn't have a clue as to what science says on the subject. They do no more than embellish every statement until it grows to absolute statements and convince themselves that the result is science.

The results are not science until cause-and-effect relationships are accounted for. Incompetent scientists do not account for cause-and-effect relationships, which is what defines them as incompetent.
