hume - section IV
In this section, Hume talks about cause and effect but more detailed he talks about the relation of ideas and matter of fact. Matter of fact has to do with experience. Things that already happened or even happening as we speak. As for relation of ideas there is much more to it. It has a connection between cause and effect as well. Or better yet, more then one thought running through your brain at the same time. One idea probably relates to the other. In the end, we all use our past experiences to judge or predict the future. But how much can you rely on that?

i think no mater what, we will rely on our experiences, we seem to WANT to rely on the causes and effects we have seen. i think this makes sense ebcause where else would we get our ideas from? how would we start conversations without relation of ideas? even though sometimes our thought processes may prove to be wrong, it's all we really have to rely on
