Hey, I have a question. It's about Humes Induction, I know its off topic but I'm hoping to get an answer.
Ive been eating bread for the last 30years, so how do i know my next sandwich will "sustain" me? This is the problem of induction. What if some said, "But in the 21st century we know how the nutrients of bread interact with the human body and the cells".

Would this still be a circular argument? Because we are assuming that these chemical reactions (laws) will always produce the same effect. So would it still be circular?

Thanks, ive subscribed and watched some old videos and they are great.

'hi', Dr. Brown! What if one were to say: all cats are animals ; all dogs are animals ; therefore, 'all cats are cats', or, 'all dogs are dogs'? that would allow for validity 'as well' as soundness, because 'all cats are cats' and 'all dogs are dogs' do indeed meet the standards and requirements of the 'first law of identity', namely: 'whatever is IS'...in this case, all dogs are dogs 'and' all cats are cats ( all d's are d's ; all c's are c's ). in my opinion, this is a 'necessary' truth, because, if not, then Aristotle's entire theory of categorical, deductive-logic falls completely on it's face, namely: a conclusion can be sound 'only' if both-premises are true 'and' the argument is valid. thank-you, sir! b.t.w., i really enjoy your videos and insight! thanks, again! sincerely, brian filley!
