we highlights?
So I liked some of these, but he kind of goes through and sort of anticipates some refutations.
But I mean, the first one right at the beginning of of section four is just the sort of he talks about states and why you might think that some people might think that beliefs and attitudes are states or dispositions.
And so and they so they can't be causes because causes are dynamic and active and mechanical.
They're part of the flow of the event or whatever.
And so you I thought of states as like being tall, you know, or like the example of a a play.
Having a hidden crack.
And so we're fine saying that I got hit in the head because I was tall, or I the plate cracked because of it was of its structural integrity.
I think he used the example of a bridge.
And then someone else might come along and say, well, that still had a kind of dynamic spark happen to it.
The bridge had cars running over it, or or you ran hot water over the plate, or whatever.
And so Davidson's gonna say, Well, our perceptions and mental events are actually.
actually dynamic causal mechanical event.
So where's there still is, I mean, having a perceptual episode is going to affect your state, your beliefs, your dispositions.
And so he thinks it's fine and there's no problem there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The logical connection one was tough.
Objection two was tougher for me, insofar as it it was saying that the structure of causality they needed to be logically separable, the cause and the effect.
