We can speak of a chain of cause and effect by describing them, without using the word determinism.
It does not matter which words one uses insofar as they cover the same concept, except that often using a synonym, if any, diminishes or devalues the initial meaning!

Doctrine according to which the actions of men are, like the phenomena of nature, subject to a set of external causes. It is the physical dimension, material only.

SCOLAST. Doctrine which subordinates the human will to divine Providence and therefore denies free will (cf. predestination):This is the metaphysical dimension,
Two aspects as important as each other, beyond philosophies or beliefs. For one is attached to the past, cause effect; the other in the future that cannot be described by our usual means.
The description of the chain of cause and effect allows everyone to understand the process involved, WHAT JUST GIVES THE POWER it is up to the one who takes cognizance of it to extract himself from it.
Illusion of the mind! We can only imagine in the realm of possibilities
that we already know, not beyond and in general the future never corresponds to what we believe it could be. This is the vanity of the human mind!
We act better on what we understand.
This is what we have learned to believe, but the reality is quite different as we can see with the covid episode where everyone is agitated to face what no one has mastered, such as firefighters in the face of a forest fire, which will only actually stop when everything that can be burned has already been burnt. Vanity of vanities!
However, it is in human nature to believe that all this turmoil is going to control what goes far beyond our ability to steer the course of events, that's what we are here for!
The word determinism about a subject, without further details, explains nothing and above all unconsciously locks up in the named process, making it perceive as inevitable.
inevitable as nothing changes while as far as humans are concerned everything can change.
The characteristic of determinism is precisely this inevitability, like the planets which revolve around the sun in a determined way and in an "ineluctable" cycle because no planet can change anything there, they revolve, revolve and will revolve indefinitely, because it 'is their role as for everything that moves, including us of course.
so much nothing changes whereas with regard to the human being everything can change.
Another illusion of the mind! what has humans changed on this earth (if not by destroying life, according to the principle of entropy.) Humans are born and die like all the rest of life, they eat, they shit, they fucks and occupies the rest of his life in a shitty job while waiting for a retirement where he will get bored at a hundred cents an hour while waiting to die like elsewhere and he does not master this aspect any more than the rest
Nothing prevents from describing the chain of causes and effects in relative detail, which is a source of understanding, SOURCE OF POWER [*]and action.
Always the ego which expresses itself precisely from this illusion of possessing a
POWER whatever is more and more concretized in transhumanism, the human having become superior has god in his works.
I do not see where I would have praised the illusion, on the contrary I am for enlightened emancipation.
As ?
[*] a power which can very little, if not nothing at all!
