Does the Mentaculus disprove efficient causality?
Philosophers ponder about the nature of time, and in particular why we perceive it to have a direction and succession. One school of thought states that time's arrow is reducible to some other physical phenomena, such as the increase of entropy. One way in which this is formulated is a proposal by Albert and Loewer, which is termed as the "Mentaculus." A recent paper has argued that this understanding of time is inconsistent with efficient causality, as used in the Kalam cosmological argument. I describe this objection, and respond.
