About this listen

No Self, No God, No Clue: David Hume and the Joy of Destroying Everything is your ruthlessly sarcastic crash course in the philosophy of David Hume—history’s most cheerful intellectual arsonist.

This is the man who read 2,000 years of human thought and said, “You don’t actually know anything, your morality is just feelings, causality is a lie, and you don’t exist. Have a great day.”

In this wildly bitter, hysterically sharp takedown of Enlightenment optimism, Sophia Blackwell (author of I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong and Why Did That Happen?) guides you through:

  • Hume’s obsession with impressions and ideas (aka “Your brain is faking it”)
  • His complete annihilation of cause and effect (“Just because the sun rose yesterday…”)
  • The revelation that you have no self, just a slideshow of mood swings
  • His polite-but-lethal evisceration of religion, miracles, and divine nonsense
  • Why ethics is just your emotional nausea dressed up as virtue
  • And how Hume managed to ruin the entire Enlightenment without raising his voice once

This isn’t a neutral analysis. It’s a guided philosophical breakdown from a man who spent his life replacing reason with raised eyebrows. Whether you're a philosophy student, a recovering rationalist, or just someone who enjoys watching belief systems implode in real time, this book will have you laughing, spiraling, and rethinking reality—sometimes simultaneously.

Listen to it. Doubt everything. Try not to cry.
