Thus, if I win the lottery on the same day I stubbed my toe, Jung would proclaim that stubbing my toe and winning the lottery are not causally connected, but 'meaningfully connected'.OK, lemme see if I get this.
If you stubbed your toe in the morning, then won the lottery later in the day, Jung would admit that stubbing one's toe doesn't cause one to win the lottery, right?
But what does "meaningfully connected" mean? If I also ate French toast that morning, would it also be "meaningfully connected"? And if so, where does the meaning stop? Couldn't literally every single thing I did that day be "meaningfully connected" to winning the lottery?
