David Hume on 'the English'

*"If there is a central, guiding theme of the work ['History of England'] as a whole it is the blessings of civilisation. As in his 'Political Discourses,' Hume takes a stand firmly in favour of the superiority of the modern world and against the idea of a fall from ancient glory.** "For Hume, most of English history—indeed, most of human history—had been a story of disorder, oppression, poverty, and dependence. He thus finds the tendency to romanticise the days of yore and 'exalt past times above the present' to be utterly preposterous.** “'My Notion is,' he writes, 'that t... more »

“A man who has blown all his options can't afford the luxury of changing his ways. He has to capitalize on whatever he has left, and he can't afford to admit - no matter how often he's reminded of it - that every day of his life takes him farther and farther down a blind alley. Very few toads in this world are Prince Charmings in disguise. Most are simply toads, and they are going to stay that way. Toads don't make laws or change any basic structures, but one or two rooty insights can work powerful changes in the way they get through life. A toad who believes he got a raw deal bef... more »

*Paul R. Pillar* *Iran, Middle East* Accountability in policy debate in the United States is sorely lacking. One reason is the casual use of hypothetical alternative histories and of related assertions that by their nature cannot be proved or disproved. Arguments that policymaker X would have gotten a better result if he had only done Y instead of Z get repeated with an air of certainty even though they often are nothing more than evidence-free and analysis-free “woulda coulda shoulda” rhetoric.
