This Philosopher Proved We Can't Know Anything (And It Nearly Broke Him)

[00:00:00]David Hume was one of history's smartest minds, but his own thinking nearly broke him. He used logic to prove we can't actually know anything for certain, not even that the sun will rise tomorrow.

[00:00:11]His radical doubt stripped away every belief until he had nothing left to stand on. The mental crisis was so intense he couldn't function. Then Hume discovered something profound. Human belief isn't about proof, it's about faith in patterns. Sometimes the wisest thing isn't knowing everything. It's accepting that uncertainty is part of being human.
