"Though it be too obvious to escape observation, that different ideas are connected together; I do not find, that any philosopher has attempted to enumerate or class all the principles of association; a subject, however, that seems worthy of curiosity. To me, there appear to be only three principles of connexion among ideas, namely, Resemblance, Contiguity in time or place, and Cause or Effect."
Hume basically states that that the connection of ideas are only resemblance, and cause and effect. I agree but I disagree, ideas that that are different can always be connected together, its just that they have one common ground. It doesnt matter if they have cause and effect and are similar.
