Hard causal closure does not allow for that.

I'm not sure I buy hard causal closure. As a dualist, I believe in physically-caused events as well as mentally-caused events.

Then you probably should be talking about causal completeness instead of causal closure.

Don't tell me what to talk about in my own creative thread.

Deathbed tip #274:

One must practice a certain graceful reticence and finesse when in public. Be the invisible observer, the silent listener, the eavesdropper in the woodwork. Do not gawdily flaunt your thoughts and experiences like some cheap Mainstreet whore at midnight.

Oh Elsa...though I was but a small boy...how I loved you for the 3 minutes you were on the TV screen on that rainy Saturday afternoon!

The structure of light, because it has no mass, comes largely from space itself. Even darkness, technically defined as the absence of light, has this structure ans gets projected on the wall as a shadow at the same speed as light, always travels in straight lines, and gets larger the farther it is cast. Even if you should look at the source of the shadow head on, you will see the dark silhouette that is casting it as in an eclipse of the sun, just as light carries the image of its last source.

Everything you see projected on a screen from a movie projector is really just varying shapes of different colored shadows. Even the black cat you see in the movie is just the shadow of a cat silhouette with green eyes, a mere shape absent of any light.

We thus live visually in a world of entangling images and shadows--equally pervading and measuring out for us the vast stretches of a seemingly pre-existent and transparent space. Between every crest of a light wave there is a trough of impenetrable darkness. Light and darkness together encode within themselves the structure of space itself, which enable them to show us this immersive simulacrum all around us we call the World..
