>refutes causality
Why do people still argue over first causes and necessary beings and infinite regresses? The simplest explanation is that causality isn’t even real and that everything simply exists coincidentally

Ahem
Treatise

Also Robert Wolff's lectures

That's my strategy so far. Not authoritative or scholarly just giving it a shot by myself

>>18492997
Treatise on Human Nature by David Hume
The Curse of the High IQ by Aaron Clarey
The Bell Curve by Charles Murray and who cares second guy. Just read the graphs and draw conclusions on the fact that you're one of the few who can look at those graphs without being offended and your world feels as if it is falling on you.

Is the is and ought dichotomy true?

Started with Hume for me. He made me realise how silly the sort of reddit materialism is and how hard genuine knowledge is to come by.
He didn't convert me to Christianity or anything, but put me on a path to Spinoza and Aquinas and the Upanishads.
I used to be so convinced God was impossible because science lol, Hume taught me I didn't know shit

Why do you assume my intention of putting a subject is in any way related to the picture?

Could you point me to any philosophical works that talk about the existence of the soul? Personally I'm not convinced of the existence of the soul, let alone the immortal soul.
