The best arguments for causation--& only one we need--is pragmatic. Here pragmatic isn't weak/subjective, but connected to actual goals, utility & outcomes in the world.

Hi everyone! I've joined BlueSky now. Although I'm not very active on these platforms (sorry, I don't have much time), I'll be reading your messages and sharing those that I find interesting! ;)
