hume
>But he insists that because these metaphysical and theological systems are objectionable, it doesn’t mean we should give up doing philosophy. Instead, we need to appreciate “the necessity of carrying the war into the most secret recesses of the enemy”. The only way to resist the allure of these pseudo–sciences is to engage with them, countering their “abstruse … metaphysical jargon” with “accurate and just reasoning” (EHU 1.12/12).

nietzsche
>Particularly as knowers, let us not be ungrateful toward such resolute reversals of the familiar perspectives and valuations with which the spirit has raged against itself all too long… : to see differently in this way for once, to want to see differently, is no small discipline and preparation of the intellect for its future “objectivity”—the latter understood not as “disinterested contemplation” (which is a non-concept and absurdity), but rather as the capacity to have one’s Pro and Contra in one’s power, and to shift them in and out, so that one knows how to make precisely the difference in perspectives and affective interpretations useful for knowledge. (GM III, 12)
>“disinterested contemplation” (which is a non-concept and absurdity)

they're literally complete opposites. if you're a pseud, if you're a charlatan, if you're intellectually dishonest and a fan of nietzsche you have literally nothing to gain from hume.
hume critiqued ideas on the basis of truth, nietzsche critiqued ideas on the basis of feelings and aesthetics (revolting german feelings and aesthetics).

>You here it from these reddit types, "the study says..., research shows that..." Implicit to their thinking is that an experiment is a kind of proof
yes they're using the word "proof" in the sense of the word "extremely strong evidence" not in the sense of "mathematical proof". extremely significant and important. sure showed these science types the power of german philosophy!
fucking faggot pseud.

hume would have disagreed with you anyway, he was against meta-physics AKA german philosophy. you fucking pseuds keep using hume to try to cope with being too unintelligent for physics, not being respected for pulling things out of your ass and worshipping old philosophers etc but you using it that way is completely faulty. this is all just fucking cope and it's absolutely pathetic.

>Who is the perpetrator?
It all goes back to german and french philosophy and letting people who can't into math or physics into academia. mill himself, as with most british philosophers, was educated in mathematics and physics from a young age and learned to think clearly and honestly.

>What did anon mean by this?
hume was pro-science, anti-pseud rambling.

you people really should read hume. he's not your french or german muh emoshionns I can say what I want! philosopher you seem to think. The problem of induction isn't some fundamental "science btfod" response since cause and effect is an integral part of the human mind, to use it to reject science is to reject all thinking. in the end hume is far more critical of philosophy than science.
