mel said: the connection between action and belief are often very tenuous, in fact approaching correlation zero. We watch it every week and mostly make no big thing about it. Of course the logic fallacy of "false cause" is why these two, action and belief, are so often separate. dmb says:Zero correlation? Really? I think that whenever we act we are acting on the basis of beliefs so that the correlation approaches 100%. Except maybe in the case of sleepwalkers I don't see how anybody could do anything except on the basis of their beliefs. Granted, some actions can be based on habit, can be less than fully conscious and deliberate but there would still be a belief of some kind in the background. Can you think of any examples of action in the absence of belief? I can't really think of anything.
