Otherwise our expectations make us jump to conclusions. Hume does not deny the existence of unbreakable laws of nature. On the contrary, he argues that because we cannot see laws of nature, we can easily come to false conclusions. Example? Well, I see a herd of black horses, that doesn’t mean all horses are black. Once upon a time there was a girl who really loved skiing and dogs poster. Of course not. And even though I’ve only seen black crows all my life, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any white crows. For both philosophers and scientists, it is important not to rule out the possibility of finding a white crow.
