Can Jon Stewart teach us something about David Hume?

I have been Trying to understand David Hume's response to Descartes. When Descartes made various arguments including the dream argument and the evil genius argument, I've wanted to say that he was raising questions about what has often been called the common sense view. I noted that G.E. Moore later tried to defend what he described as the views of common sense.

It might be more of a stretch to say that what Descartes was questioning, Hume and Moore were defending. But, that's where I want to go. Hume tells us that there are the views of the learned and the views of the vulgar.

These views and their dispute are based, so I want to say, on a common sense framework. It's the views that are this framework which Hume defends. It is this framework which makes the conflict between the learned and the vulgar sensible.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
