Too much sitting.
Going for an early walk, with an episode of Past Present Future reflecting on Hume. 🎉
(That might not be your idea of fun, but it's sure as heck one of mine. Hydrate and touch grass, lovely people!)
"He's a bit of a mansplain-y essayist."
😅 I love this host. He hasn't tried to hedge in the slightest from Hume's racism and sexism while reflecting on his influence. It is absolutely possible to have serious conversations about philosophy and history that state plainly when the human behind the ideas is deeply flawed, full stop.
This was an absolutely smashing episode of Past Present Future, which seamlessly interwove essays by Hume on suicide & national debt to illustrate key misreadings of the original position & how the possibility of "debt suicide" reveals what we owe to one another.
