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 would have been standing, had Isaac Newton not been there first. But Oasis, definitely. 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.
