Hume- Animals
Hume talks about in one section of his book that we are like animals and we pick up from them and we are exactly like the animals of today. I happen to agree, so what if we can operate a computer or an airplane or learn calculus. It just so happens we have some traits that make us no better than the animals we look down upon. We have taken enjoyment in watching violence and i think thats the same as the animals. I think if we didnt have the laws people would be killing people all the time. I think that Hume is on point when he compares us to the animals

I happen to disagree. I don't think we are like animals. Some things are similar but for the most part I think animals do things more by instincts or innateness. People do it by experience.
