Super interesting piece, I love practical philosophy and got to read a bit of Hume while undergrad.
Question though, is there a distinction between pride in one’s self and pride in one’s work? For example, let’s say I painted a beautiful piece of art. How would Hume respond to my pride in the creation itself?
Also wondering how Hume would respond to the idea of having standards (which I guess would fall under group association)
What I mean by the last paragraph is let’s say I consider myself an anti racist. I don’t have any interest in being friends with racists. This is an example of group association. Is it prideful? In a way yes, what do yo I think Hume would say here?

I know quite a few contrarians that would let this fly right over their heads.
