All one word.
Just think for a second about what happened on the last episode of the show.
We all learned about David Hume, right?
Scottish philosopher, the foreman of what's known as the Scottish Enlightenment,
living in the 1700s, calling into question all kinds of stuff.
Cosmological argument for God's existence, teleological argument for God's existence,
Aristotle's Four Causes, which by the way when he did it was completely scandalous.
He even called into question causality itself.
I mean, what was wrong with this guy?
Let's do a psych profile on David Hume 300 years later.
Was he abused as a child?
Did he have some sort of bum leg, made him angry at the world like he's Dr. House?
I mean, why is this guy ruining the party for everyone else?
Well, no, David Hume wasn't any of this stuff.
But if there's one thing I could assure you he was, it was a skeptic.
And I think I've said this on the show before, I'm not really sure anymore, I'm getting too many of these.
