Am I totally inferring the link between two events? Causation question...

[Natasha Tori Maru]

I do shit (shit#1) - then shit (shit#2) occurs afterwards.

Shit#1 and Shit#2 appear to be associated.

But in reality, all I can say is one shit is happening then another.

I am making a connection between the two shits - via inference - up in my head?

I got to this based on determinism / free will and reviewing this thread:

Confused with free will

I don't think I can say anything else other than "I observe some pattern of shit, some regularities of said shit, and some sequences of shit"

Correct me if I am wrong - but I am making this connection up?

See David Hume's critique of causality.  Our minds are hardwired to project the feeling of anticipation onto nature, mistaking an internal association of ideas for an objective law of the universe.

I'm not a skeptic as to causation.
