David Hume

Not only could he out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel, Humey was the great causal sceptic and the first great post modernist. Wrote A Treatise on Human Nature. One of those giants on whose shoulders Isaac Newton, and Oasis, stood. Neat guy.

Have no truck with cancel culture snapperheads who complain that he fraternised with people holding fairly normal political opinions in the sixteenth century. Without people like Hume, we libtards would be breaking rocks in gulags.
