Brains are really good at association. Really bad at cause and effect.

If you want to prove this to yourself, take a date out on a roller coaster or bungee jumping. When your hearts are racing and you feel alive, look at each other. The association you form pretty much guarantees a positive date, even though the person you were with had nothing to do with the adrenaline rush.
