Humean Seduction
https://www.facebook.com/usaatodaynewss for now.
![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!"](http://static.existentialcomics.com/comics/HumeanSeduction1.png)
!["Just because every girl I've ever witnessed in the past has preferred Camus to me, doesn't mean they will in the future!" 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!"](http://static.existentialcomics.com/comics/HumeanSeduction2.png)
"Just because every girl I've ever witnessed in the past has preferred Camus to me, doesn't mean they will in the future!"
