Humean Seduction



Description: David Hume is at a bar with Albert Camus. Hume: "Step back Camus, let me show you some Humean Seduction." Camus: "I don't think i need hel-" Hume: "Just watch and learn, Camus, watch and learn." Hume: "Hey baby, have i ever told you my theory of how reason is slave to the passions?" Woman one: "Get lost." Hume: "Hey baby, have i ever told you my theory of how reason is slave to the passions?" Woman two: "Fuck off." Hume: "Hey baby, have i ever told you my theory of how reason is slave to the passions?" Woman three: "Leave me alone." Hume: "Hey baby, have i ever told you my theory of how reason is slave to the passions?" Woman one again: "You already asked me that, and i said get lost!" Hume: "Oh, shit, sorry." Camus: "I don't get it, you just approach every woman you see until one of them say yes? This is your big secret?" Hume: "Of course." Camus: "But don't you want a real connection with someone?" Camus: "Don't you want to make a genuine love and passion? To find someone who you can love their heart and all that they are?" Camus: "And that eventually works?" Hume: "I mean...it hasn't worked so far, but...one day i'm sure it will!"
Camus: "To find someone who when you are with them it seems absurd to not believe in eternity?" Camus: "Someone who when you are with them you feel alive and without them you want to die?" Hume: "Uh...not really, no." Camus: "Oh." Camus: "So what do you want, then?" Hume: "I don't know... a blonde, i guess?" Camus: "I see." Hume: "So what line do you use to pick up women?" Camus: "What? I don't use a line." Hume: "Then what do you do?" Camus: "Are you kidding? I'm Camus, the women use lines on me." One of the women from earlier: "Hey Camus, have I ever told you my theory of how reason is slave to the passions?" Woman: "No, why don't we go back to your place and you can tell me all about it?" Camus: "Sounds great!" Hume, yelling at them as they leave together: "Hey! That's my line!"
"Just because every girl I've ever witnessed in the past has preferred Camus to me, doesn't mean they will in the future!"
