      David Hume was suspicious of ‘enthusiasts’ – people who think themselves sufficient in reason and knowledge to be entirely confident about their beliefs. Today, the enthusiasts are on the rise: http://ow.ly/CAGm30lpv4Z  pic.twitter.com/9A27N1c37X

      4/ Yes, we in the enlightened age of 2018 we can see that Hume was talking out of his butt, because now we can see just how many patents, books, etc. are generated, rendering his opinions obsolete and wrong.

      Replying to @MorlockP

      There were contemporary responses pointing out the weakness of Hume's reasoning, and his position was by no means the only mainstream one in his social circles. Adam Smith, for instance, had a different take. Also the special pleading about the 'valour' of Tartars and Germans.

      indeed, the valour argument is weak...but his argument about "ingenious manufactures" is perfectly correct. You can look at patents by country, or by race, or even representation in fields that generate inventions.
