but an awesome experiment in teaching monkeys to use money
The opposite phrase, correlation proves causation, is a logical fallacy by which two events that occur together are claimed to have a cause-and-effect relationship.

No, that is not always the case. For there to be a connection, a connection must be shown.
But just because the connection is not shown is not necessarily proof no connection exists until we can prove what that connection is. Correlation shows some sort of connection even if we dont understand/know what that is, right?
Intersting article on the monkeys. thanks for posting that only got to read through it briefly but i will go back and get the whole story. Thanks again!
Indeed, infinite intelligent conciousness is the Higgs Boson as nothing would have mass if were not for concious observation

I agree, the common denominator is the observer within all life.
Evolution as simply allowed for our "minds" to create a more expressive physical vehicle.
The observer/responder is the driving force of evolution.
What I was implying was that we are not conscious life at all, but that the oldest living organism on our planet is and we only exist because it exists to observe us as existing as is being postulated about human life being that observer.
