Hume
- This diagram was created in less than 10 minutes as a proof of concept to demonstrate the use of mind maps to answer an assignment in college class. No more was done to create this map than searching Google for Hume Paradox Horrror and then taking the first four or five answers and clipping them into a mind map tool then exported to html. For a class assignment a deeper breakdown of ideas to short sentences would be required to demonstrate mastery of the subject.
The intent was to show the organization of thoughts and how to organize them into a structure as shown below. NOT to produce a credible research or argument of any kind

who he was
