Okay, I've been told that I'm a little too @savage at the Tavern this week. Can we all just forget about it pls. (If you didn't experience it, don't worry about it.)

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Honestly @thomasreid, if you can't experience it, is it really real??? (no. its not.)

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Meeting at The Poker Club tn to discuss my new favorite topic, #HumesGuillotine. The Adam's (@adamsmith @adamferguson) will be there to hold my wig because its about to get real.

Some people ask me why I never married. I tell them I'm married to my City. #edinburgforever #allhailthegreatcity

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

OMG STOP SOMEONE JUST NAMED A LAW AFTER ME FOR MY "IS"/"OUGHT" THESIS. (see my last tweet) #HumesLaw #HumesGuillotine

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Real Moment: Too many of you philosophers are making claims of what "ought" to be based only on what "is". Its funny because they really have no correlation. #duh

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Hey @JeanBaptisteColbert, have you read my new book? Here's an exerpt that may help... "an increase in domestic prices due to the gold inflow would discourage exports and encourage imports, thus automatically limiting the amount by which exports would exceed imports." #duh

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Okay, I wrote it down for you #mercantilists. Its called The Price-Specie Flow Mechanism. Read all about it in my new book, "Of the Balance of Trade."

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Hold up, the mercantilists are straight up saying that we need a "positive trade balance"?? Don't they understand that over time imports and exports balance themselves? Ugh, so annoying. Do I have to write it down for you?

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Hey gang, having a get-together tonight at @theroyalmiletavern 7pm to discuss this ratty group of mercantilists.

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

It's finally done!!! Come to my book-signing party for #aTreatiseofHumanNature !! (PS @adamferguson is buying drinks!)

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

Finishing up ideas for A Treatise of Human Nature in Anjou. Should be home in #Edinburg soon!

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

@benfranklin - yes you can come stay with me in Edinburgh. But you have to bring flowers for my mom. (She likes petunias.)

[David Hume @humeshallicall]

I've got one for you...... Why did the chicken cross the road?
Out of custom and habit.
