If a tree falls and no one is around, does it still make a noise?

                        The more that I learn about all of the empiricists, the more interested I become. Though at the beginning of the novel the philosophy lessons from Alberto were boring and difficult to understand, I am not starting to appreciate the lessons. Even thought the philosophers and their ideas are becoming more complex, Alberto has started teaching lessons on people who have very radical ideas that really make me think about life as a whole and is helping me weed out and debunk philosophies I think are false, or no way could be true. I think it is very interesting the views and thoughts of Hume. We are taught in school in physics and probably referenced in a plethora of different class about laws. Things that are always true, for example in physics we learn the law of gravity and inertia. Though Hume was convinced that we, as humans couldn’t be certain of anything. Just because of cause and effect, and that something always seems to happen doesn’t mean that is will always happen, or always be true. Hume also had ideas about psychology. He concludes that people act of feelings rather than reason. He suspects that though people take reason into account when deciding something, more often than not, the final decision will be deducted using more feelings than reason.
