If you would have actually made the argument your post would have been longer than a paragraph and not simple referred to cached thoughts about acausal reasoning.
Which post was this? The solution to the DA?
If you care about your mental health than it’s useful to demand from people who think they have found away around causality to provide extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims but not treat the idea that the world runs in a causal fashion as an extraordinary claim.
I don’t understand causality scientifically. It’s like asking an evolutionary biologist to demonstrate exactly how his theory overcomes the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
It certainly applies to the post about the solution to DA.

A smart evolutionary biologist won’t draw a blank when you ask him the question. He will tell you that the sun provides earth with entropy that allows life to blossom.
If you think that you yourself don’t understand causality scientifically you shouldn’t make complex nonintuitive claims about the nature of causality.

I don’t recall saying a single word about acausality. I put forward my logic.

Sure, but I don’t claim to be an expert in anything. I just had an idea that seemed sound.

I’ve always been bad at initial presentations. It gets better after observing where people go wrong.

You didn’t list all the assumption you make. You didn’t explain a causal chain of how what you are proposing will lead to the effects that you desire.
If you would have the post would be longer than a paragraph as any LW post introducing a substantial new concept is.
You expressed an idea and the idea felt sound for you but you didn’t go into a deep argument for it.
