     What kinds of consequences can humans make follow    
       certain kinds of previous circumstances?           
                                                          
     What kinds of determinations can be controlled by    
       humans; i.e., determinations in the sense of       
         controlling outcomes of previous actions,        
           circumstances, relationships, events,          
             interactions, reactions, etc?                
                                                          
     What kinds of cause-effect relationships can         
       humans be in control of; and what other            
         kinds of cause-effect relationships can          
           humans NOT be in control of?                   
                                                          
     What kinds of laws of cause-effect can humans        
       pass, legislate, control, etc?, and what           
         other kinds of laws of cause-effect can          
           humans NOT be in control of?                   
                                                          
     What are the differences between "laws" which        
       describe sequences of cause-and-effect that        
         occur without exception and without human:       
           choice, desire, action, intention,             
             fear, anxiety, etc? --- and others that      
               occur only because of some human:          
                 choice, desires, action, intention,      
                   fear, anxiety, prescription?           
                                                          
     What are the differences between human descriptions  
       which entail no attempt to be in control of        
         sequences of cause-effect relationships; and     
           other human prescriptions which entail many    
             human attempts to be in control of certain   
               sequences of cause-effect relationships?   
                                                          
     Legislators in one sense "determine" what shall be   
       the consequences of a citizen doing some forbidden 
         action; i.e., prescribe the consequence of a     
           citizen disobeying a law which they "pass".    
                                                          
     Pure scientific researchers in another sense         
       "determine" what is always the consequence of some 
          particular circumstance/relationship --- and    
            then describe what are always the consequences
              of that said particular circumstances and/or
                relationships.  (Above "pure" is to be    
                  understood in the sense of being        
                    independent of "applications", of     
                      efforts to cause certain things     
                        to happen for utilitarian         
                          reasons due to human            
                            desires and fears.)           
                                                          
     Pure religious leaders in another sense              
       "determine" what "should" always be the            
          consequences of particular human desires,       
            fears, decisions, actions, thoughts,          
              intimacies, relationships, etc.  They       
                often differ as to what they mean when    
                  they use/see words such as "determine", 
                    "consequences", "should", "ought"     
                       "law", etc. --- in comparison to   
                          what scientists mean when they  
                            use the very same words in    
                              the context of the work of  
                                scientists working in     
                                  laboratory settings.    
                                    How can they come to  
                                      understand what     
                                        each other means? 
                                          What if they    
                                            do not do so? 
                                              What then   
                                                happens?  
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
