    Custom is the great guide of human life.
    The number of atheists is always rising, Kant was wrong, Hume is going to be the greatest philosopher.

    The philosophers thinks that their perception will rule out all other perceptions by a new perception that will be followed by all others. The relationship of philosophers to the Truth is related to all of those that came before them as a cause of the original statement of Truth. The experience of Truth can only come from being truthful. Honesty in ones private life gives root to all True Philosophy. For example, only the ones who can keep

    For example, only those honest philosophers who kept their word in private life will have efficacy with those on one's public life. As far ad A & B is concerned really happens before A and C after B. Following any letter is not original but can only be realized in the Nameless since all causation is the result of one's small perception in an infinite & eternal universe. Man's puny little perception is strained with rank competition & not original thought. Silence, stillness, & emptiness is the only starting point in meditative truth seeking being that it's already within one but because of personal bias is subject to a perfect POV.

    HI, this may sound a bit crazy but I can offer you the answer how, we can conclude that based on the same cause we will get the same consequence. This is possible if we make a deduction from the induction, that is, if we understand why it happened for the first time. Then we will understand why this will happen every time it is repeated. And why in these circumstances nothing else can happen. Take for example that you walk towards a wall and your body stops when you are in contact with a wall. The first question is why did that happen? And not something else ... When we divide the whole case into "all" factors that make it up, we will get: you who move, the floor, the space you pass through, the wall ... What we must understand is that every factor that exists has its own identity and cannot be different at the same time. So, just as in the identity of the body as well as in the identity of that wall there is no transience through each other due to the structure of those identities, it is not possible for those identities. That is why it happened, what is only possible, which can only happen through the contact of these identities. Therefore, in each repeated case, the same consequence will occur, stopping the body in contact with the wall. And for the first time, what was only possible in the contact of these identities happened. It is impossible for nothing to happen, and the only thing that can happen depends on the identities involved in the process. Every identity can react only according to what it is and in no other way. This limits the consequence and therefore only what each identity brings to the process for itself can always happen. Now try to imagine any other possible consequence, without having to change the identities we had in the first case, any different consequence will require some change of some identity in the process, and that implies a change of what Hume call the cause. Each repeated case will end the same if the same identities are present because each factor from that process has its own identity which at the same time cannot be different and therefore cannot react differently. A wall cannot have the identity of transience and non-transience for the body at the same time, the same goes for the space you walk through ... An identity is one that limits the possibility of a consequence to the identity it possesses. This is a simplified example of necessity in causality and I don’t think it provides a deeper understanding of necessity in causality but it is a powerful example that points to necessity that is indisputable without changing any identity in the process itself, and if we do, change something in the process itself, then we have changed the cause itself, so we should not expect the same consequence. I apologize if the translation is not perfect everywhere, I am dyslexic. That’s part of my charm.

    Hume believes that beliefs cannot be justified.
    Therefore he has no justification for this belief.
    And I have no justification for believing he is mistaken.
    If this is confusing, then you are mistaken too !

      Hume does not contend that literally all beliefs are unjustified, only that most of what normal people think is justified

      That's not a belief. Its part of the definition of the word "triangle".
      If we defined a triangle as having four sides, then it has four sides.
