I love Mill because he is the only one who doesn't cede any ground to the rationalist scum. You may think that empiricism was "irrevocably btfo" by hume and kant, but you simply lack the imagination to understand the many possible solutions, and you are ignorant of developments in empiricism. I will be an empiricist and a realist until the day I die and there is no amount of kantposting cope that will change my mind.

Mill is ugly, therefore he is wrong.

You’re a poor physiognomist. Just because he has a lump on his head doesn’t mean he is ugly and just because you find someone ugly doesn’t mean they have bad physiognomy.

Hume was an empiricist who denied causality, but they take him to have debunked empiricism because to them “your position implies causality isn’t true” is a reductio ad absurdism. In the same way you hold that “raping children is bad” and therefore would deny any ethical system that implies it’s good, rationalists say “causality MUST hold” and therefore when Hume “proves” that Locke’s sensationalism leads to a breakdown of causality it means Hume has debunked Locke.
