Hume’s Wikipedia page is really funny where it describes his life post breakdown. He certainly enjoyed the merry life and a good port. I thought it would be a funny idea to do a “day in the life” video following Hume’s lifestyle and just end up stone drunk on port.

Also, there’s a statue of Hume in the center of Edinburgh where he looks emaciated and serious like the ancient philosophers looked, and I’ve always thought it was a funny statue, because it completely gets his character (and stature I’m guessing) wrong.
