Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

He may have read both - apparently he's very well read. My guess is he would disagree with Hume on that point, but I don't know the guy.
Well Hume was right. Reason can't derive axioms. It can't create purpose from nothing. It can't solve the is-ought problem. Passion can. Passion can say "the world should be like this. Why? Because I want it to be". Reason can't do that. And thus, reason should exist only to serve passion.
OTOH reason has kept a roof over my head when my passion would have had me do Arduino projects or write D&D campaigns instead of working. Maybe Hume's gf had a job.
You were probably more passionate about keeping a roof over your head.
No, the word "dispassionate" perfectly describes when I'm forced to work on necessities instead of things I love.
This statement needs to get on a T-shirt
Or motivational poster
OTOH it won't get the dishes done or check the air in the car tires.
