Some people will interpret this as bait but I choose to believe OP is sincere, because if he is, then he's absolutely right. People just don't like him because he's so boring.

>Secondly, it is untrue, because it would lead to the opinion of the ancients who maintained that "whatever seems, is true" [Aristotle, Metaph. iii. 5, and that consequently contradictories are true simultaneously. For if the faculty knows its own impression only, it can judge of that only. Now a thing seems according to the impression made on the cognitive faculty. Consequently the cognitive faculty will always judge of its own impression as such; and so every judgment will be true: for instance, if taste perceived only its own impression, when anyone with a healthy taste perceives that honey is sweet, he would judge truly; and if anyone with a corrupt taste perceives that honey is bitter, this would be equally true; for each would judge according to the impression on his taste. Thus every opinion would be equally true; in fact, every sort of apprehension.

All BTFO themes that you attribute to Hume are in fact being actively researched by contemporary analytic philosophy. That being said, they are hardly and far from "BTFO".

Remainder: nothing gets BTFO in philosophy, since in philosophy, everything hinges on argument and its force of persuasion, not logico-mathematical proof that cements a given theorem true in all possible worlds, as it is done in Mathematics.
