- 8457: David Hume's An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding
- ... rational judgments are merely habitual associations of distinct impressions or experiences. Hume claims that all our ideas, which form the basis of our knowledge, are derived from impressions that we take in from the outside world and into the inside world of our mind.

Then in one or more of these daughter cells, the virus produces RNA copies of its genetic material. These new HIV clones become covered with protein coats and leave the cell to find other host cells where they can repeat the life cycle. As viruses begin to invade the body, a few are consumed by ... specifically CD4+ cells, and macrophages, while replicating itself relatively unnoticed.
