>the self or the soul is actually an illusion and what you call you you is actually a bundle of impressions
>reason is the slave of the passions

>whoever uses their reason to justify their passion the most effectively (like a snakey lawyer) ultimately wins the game at defining the artifical virtue of Justice

Darwin is completely misunderstood. Darwin didn't reject vitalism or metaphysics. He had no explanation for the "why" of natural selection, he just kept a catalog of species similarities. It was the fucking 21st century genetic materialists who bastardized his legacy by hacking his observations together with "mutationism" and spawning a generation of fedora atheists and Dawkins dick-suckers. "HURRRR we're all just random particles floating around according to physics". Evolution as we know it will be exposed this century, mark my words

science is faith. every time the beloved scientist makes a "discovery" everyone jumps to conclusions and a new dogma is written. then another one comes along and the dogma has to be re-written. yet we still have no real answers to why life evolves the way it does. just hyper-specialized materialism and an increasingly detailed map of physiological processes. Darwin is only the latest link in the chain. it's a tale as old as time

And what's the point he made then? That the universe more often than not has regularity? What a breakthrough!

That's not the point he made though. The point he made is that no amount of evidence can prove a miracle because he presumes a priori that there's a 0% chance of them happening.

Darwin was expanding on Lamarck (he even credited Lamarck for discovering evolution).
Hume was expanding on Descartes.
Newton took half his insight from Fermat (and the other half from is Royal Society colleagues who he didn't credit).
Smith was answering to early XVIIth century French political economy

Basically everything Anglos do is just an answer to the French.

This makes a point tho. A*glos like to act like all their achievements existed in a vacuum completely independent of similar trends going on in continental Europe.

One thing though, Hume didn’t say metaphysics wasn’t real, just that they were unknowable.This May seem like a small thing, but he puts them in the same category as faith as something to have but not be able to en-suite about. Not to abandon entirely.

Just because something is written after something else doesn't mean it's "expanding" upon it. Hume totally rejected the concept of a self, which is integral for all of Descartes philosophy to make sense. It's not an expansion if he's blowing his ass out.
