but, for instance, i do teach david hume, and david hume is an indispensable philosopher for his period. you have to read david hume and then, of course, he wrote an essay in which he said that he you know, he thought that there was a hierarchy in intelligence among the races and we don't believe that anymore. science has proved that that's incorrect. but this is not to say that we shouldn't read everything else that david hume wrote, which is of the utmost importance. and i think my students at the prison get that. they understand that there are classes taught the person. you know, we try to we try to do a wide variety of classes. and there have been some, i think, really interesting classes. one on the nat turner rebellion, and there has been one on the haitian revolution. you know, needless to say, we do african-america literature and things like this, but we try to give a very, very broad spectrum of on historical literature and philosophy and to really make the students understand that each book is a product of its own time, it's a creature of its time. and that goes also for the b

books, but then also when he met david hume, he could actually talk to him because david hume came tohe french salons of he, of which he was part, and then he went to england three times in his life to one of these stories. so he was quite involved in english and he was very interested in whole english system, by the way, before going to america and about better said to me, of course, so better just he they come a little later to his brothers when he's already there. of course they work together, and especially mapmaking becomes very important to. so she had to do making these maps. i'm assuming they would work together. i don't really proof of that. but of course, shetler was involved in mapmaking, but he was as well. so probably they have worked together to today in the library of congress. you can find a lot of these maps that are part of the russian vocabulary collection. and so bertil indeed became an important figure of the napoleon's army, which i think is interesting and would be worth digging a bit more into of this whole military enlightenment and, what influence that had on

of the enlightenment which what you see in france but it's especially obvious in adam smith and david hume and of the scottish enlightenment so oh i came to hayek late. he's had a tremendous influence. me and i highly recommend this book because he'll have an influence on you. thank you, deirdre. we'll the florida questions. now, as i said online you can submit questions a variety of ways facebook youtube, hashtag keto events. and here in the auditorium raise your hand and we will bring a microphone to you all right right there in the back. thank you. bert ely. before proposing my question, i just want to mention that i had the pleasure of the time that i came to cato and i came here, what year was david? but i may probably not long before he died, but it was a real pleasure. and i still think back it of hearing the man himself speak as he did to cato that day. my question is, is this to what extent did hayek get into monetary manners and monetary theory in the banking system and finance and just looking through the index, i didn't see references to that. and i was wondering if that's the

i meet david hume kennerly is president ford's photographer. just saw him l.a. when i was out there, i don't know, a month or two ago. and, you know, adam schultz, current photographer, i had a phone call with maybe a week before inauguration just to give him my, you know, $0.02. and then every once in a while, he'll call me with, you know, not sort of a logistics question. i mean, part of it, too, is with him. i know biden pretty well. so i sort of know, you know, the dynamics of working with joe biden in a way that, probably nobody else that he can talk to, you know? sure. from a photographer's. i'm trying to think and you know, michael evans, sadly, who was the chief photographer under reagan reagan's first term, died i mean, at least 20 years ago, i think and i actually keep in touch with his daughters. well, a special club of people. next question here. hi, name is susan bennett and thank you so much for the historical record. so be all the photos are so amazing and beautiful. so you had team was it a large team like if you missed the moment or you had othe

mitchell said there would not have been the peace process without john hume and there would not have been a peace agreement without david trimble and they think it's really important especially because they are no longer with us to remember the roles that each of them played but every person at the table everybody involved in the process i think it's fair to say were a unique personality and leader in trying to work through all of their concerns and their personal experiences, their grievances, all of that was so difficult as you said subsix because it was so inclusive. by being inclusive you had to bring everybody to the table and into an agreement. part of what i know you did was to work on and to develop personal relationships with a lot of the leaders so that you could call them and they would be invited to washington for the st. patrick's day celebration at the white house and other kinds of events. talk a little bit about how you and george mitchell manage such a big inclusive process and how you build trust with people who start off from such different perspectives. >> first when we started talking about it and e
