May 22, 2024

Edinburgh, Scotland

This leads to the first-time-ever bonus PfF, mostly because as soon as I saw it I thought, “David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel”!

Unusual and… I like it.

I was drinking my coffee when I opened this. Then I was clearing my sinuses of the coffee. Then I scrolled down. Quite a wake up!

Very very nice.

I believe it was Hume who said something like, ‘a wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.’

Edinbugh is a great visit. I was there during the Fringe Festival 5 years ago – incredible city, great energy.
