Dawn Powell and David Hume, or philosophy honestly misunderestimated

Hume on his own string
& not very happy about it.
 Dawn Powell and David Hume 

: or philosophy honestly misunderestimated.

Here’s Powell from The Locusts Have No King: “Nobody ever decided anything. Situations were solved only by other situations.” Which is to say they are not solved at all. We are the effect, but we don’t cause. The locusts have no king; but David Hume is pulling their strings: So, it’s just one damn thing after another for us acrididae. (And we’re all acrididae. Even Hume.)
