No Correlation refers to a state of mind that makes it impossible to connect your own actions with their outcomes. The things you think will make you happy don’t make you happy, and the things you expected to make you sad fail to make you sad.
I don’t mean that things fail to affect you, what I mean is that things fail to affect you in any predictable way. And more importantly, once this happens you begin to stop feeling that it’s possible for you to affect the outer world in any predictable way either. It gets difficult to work out what to do in general, because you’re no longer sure of the outcome.
Which is, I guess, just the lousy old human condition again.
