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.
@MLClark TBH, I hated studying Hume in college. But you have some great points so I'm giving him another chance 😉
Oh you'll enjoy this then! This isn't a glow-up. It's a very pragmatic look at what his arguments in their context can tell us about debt crises, the risk of war, and the complex tension (often by design!) between debt systems and the suppression of democracy in the world today. Enjoy if you give it a go!
Oof! Take care of that noggin! 🤗
@MLClark I will absolutely check it out ... tomorrow. Brain too fried to attempt it tonight!
