David Hume believed that things of the outside world are not really
things. Instead, all are ideas. What lead him to believe in this?

I am working on something. The Standards of Life.
It is the standards we all face in life at one time or another.
I guess it is because I realized that pretty much everybody has "accidentally" walked into the opposite sex bathroom at one time or the other.
So, I am trying to extend that.
I guess there could be extents at which the items are faced, but I am looking for more general terms.

If you have not experienced these, get ready for it.
Getting into a car accident.
Emotional Trauma.
Breaking a limb.
Winning a fight, Drawing a fight, Losing a fight.
Being Rich, Being Middle Class, Being Poor,
Being Smart, Being Mediocre, Being Dumb.
Having your heart broke, breaking somebody elses heart.
Loving something and losing that something.


It is all in the way we deal with basic standards of life that determine who we are.

If you "know" what it takes to individuate a particular kind of finch-- you check every mark, the beak shape, the wing breadth, the color of the head-- how do you know you're not just looking at a carefully designed robot, or a different kind of finch which has the same visible features that you sought out?

Metaphysician Peter van Inwagen argues that philosophy cannot definitively answer any philosophical question. Examples include questions concerning free will/determinism or whether dualism or physicalism is true. van Inwagen thinks that no definitive answer is available for "substantive" philosophical question. Philosophy also cannot supply a conclusive answer to the problem of evil.

I'm asking those who view death as the end of sentience. Do you fear death and if so, why?

If one is brought up to believe something is true, and this truth is instilled in them, but this something is not actually true, but this person does not know that, and then this person goes and tells others this something is true, are they lying? Why or why not? What other questions come up with this? Is it an unanswerable question? What are your opinions?
