when Hume discusses the possibility that things in the future might not happen like they have in the past, he says: “This happens sometimes, and with regard to some objects. why may it not happen always, and with regard to all objects?” Can you think of any events that you think are a real possibility for your own future and that would change almost “all objects” in your life? for example, are there any specific catastrophes that you think are real possibilities in the future and that would probably change everything in your personal life? what are those? Suppose there are some such specific catastrophes that are real possibilities. Does the real possibility that the future might not be like the past mean that you should change anything in your present life? Explain.
