"I cannot forbear having a curiosity to be acquainted with the principles of moral good and evil, the nature and foundation of government, and the cause of those several passions and inclinations, which actuate and govern me ... These sentiments spring up naturally in my present disposition; and should I endeavour to banish them, by attaching myself to any other business or diversion, I feel I should be a loser in point of pleasure; and this is the origin of my philosophy."
- Hume

ACADEMIZED ESSAYS
I try to be a generalist. (Smuggle myself between the nations of knowledge to ogle different kinds of statue.) If I ever write properly, I'll try and popularise ideas from philosophy & economics in particular. When I get old, I'll slow down, do intellectual history. After that I will do nothing.
