I am worried about the possibility of a chain reaction of electric cars when they become common enough. Imagine a parking garage full of thousands of electric cars and one spontaneously starts of fire due to a battery defect and then the ones next to it catch fire and then the ones next to those and then eventually you have a LOT of cars on fire that sprinklers cannot put out.
Not at all, something as simple as having two boxes and putting an object in one of them and then checking them at regular intervals two verify that the object is always in the box you placed it in and never in the box you didn't is proof of causality.
"Why should we believe our experiences in the past are at all relevant to the future?"
I can glibly say because it is utterly insane and silly to argue otherwise due to the immense success of science to explain how the world works and produce sophisticated technology.
I could also take a Bayesian probability approach and assume some arbitrary prior 0 < p < 1 for the probability that when you apply paint to a brush and place that brush in contact with a white wall and move the brush in a circle a red circle will appear with the exact same size and the circle the brush moved in. Use the Bayesian formula to update your probability and then repeat a few thousand times. The probability will approach 1.
Trump has proven that a shockingly large percentage of the US IS in fact too stupid to think for themselves and just let Fox News and the like tell them what to think.
