Hume Page 7

"Nor can there remain any suspicion, that this science is uncertain and chimerical; unless we should entertain such a scepticism as is entirely subversive of all speculation, and even action."

I feel what Hume is trying to say is that it is very blunt that the loves we live are VERY uncertain, and the only way we can make our lives less uncertain is if we speculate. But if we speculate our lives are still slightly uncertain due to the fact that speculation can be wrong. Not everything you have thought up in life has come true of has worked out the way you want it to be.

I believe that is true our mind cannot know everything. WE just have to be somewhat closed minded, we just have to know enough, so to speak if we do speculate there is of course a chance of it being wrong. I believe learning things can also be a downfall because it may distract you with everyday life, such as playing videogames, as you are playing it takee time to learn how to play and obviously playing that while you have school work or a job it is hard to balance. there's only so muh a brain can take.
