liberal arts are for bourgeois kids with a $1M+ safety net and property; we were born for blue/white-collar work

What the fuck is the deal with this humeposting lately? Is someone trying to force this as a meme? Is he trying to indoctrinate us? Why the hell who he pick Hume? Couldn't he instead have chosen someone who isn't relevant just because they are required to understand some other philosopher i.e Kant? Why him? WHY HIM?!

Ok, just got off the phone with Richard Dawkins,.. let's just say that the conversation didn't last very long.

>He's very polite at first
>"Well, nice to meet you, Anon"
>Get straight into the idea
>Tell him that hell is incredibly unlikely that hell exists, since the devil is too weak to lead anyone, especially the kinds of alphas that go to hell
>If hell were real, why haven't oil drillers found any remnants of Joseph Stalin
>The truth is that heaven is actually a two staged place, one for good people, and one for bad people, so no matter what, everyone gets in somehow
>At first all I'm getting are yeahs and hmms
>About half-way through my explanation, he just starts laughing
>Tell him that I'm serious
>Explain to him why hell cannot possibly exist
>He asks me if I've ever taken a chemistry class
>"No"
>"Oh anon, I'm sorry to say, but such a thing is ludicrous"
>Explain to him that if hell existed, it would become overcrowded immediately, because it's underground, and there's no waste disposal
>"You know that this is unnecessary, right?"
>Keep going about the fact that in hell, the devil would eventually be overthrown by a communist revolution, etc. but he doesn't care
>Hangs up on me
>No bye, no polite nothing, just fucking hangs up
>Call back, this time it's Lauren again, tells me that Mr. Dawkins still hasn't stopped laughing
>This time, I hang up
