Send us a text In this extended episode, I talk about the ideas and insights of two thinkers, David Hume who lived in the eighteenth century, and Isaiah Berlin, who died in 1997.

Both writers argue for tolerance and benign scepticism. I also suggest some connections between their ideas and those of Gotama Buddha.
