因果链

决定论并没有否定个体的作用。恰恰相反，你今天努力的结果，就是未来那个好结局得以发生的唯一因果机制。你本身就是这条推进系统演化的因果链。

Determinism does not negate individual agency. On the contrary, the fruits of your present effort constitute the sole causal mechanism by which a favorable future unfolds. You are, in essence, the causal chain driving the evolution of this system.
