Jon Haidt on causality (from my email)

“Hi Tyler,

i have big news about the debate over social media harming teens.
So much of it hangs on the claim that the evidence is just correlational, not causal.

Zach Rausch and I show that this is not true; the experiments DO show causation, very clearly and consistently.

Here are my 2 tweets about the post:

A lot of people heard our discussion, and enjoyed how spirited and yet civil it was.

Might you include the link to this post in your daily email:

We have 3 more coming. We think we can prove causality using just the existing experiments.

thanks for considering it.

TC again: I received this email this morning, and told Jon I would post it on MR without response from me, so here it is.
