just ask yourself what Hume believes in. Basically, he believes you can't know anything. That's about as skeptic as you can get. He points how you can never know the future actions of things, and can only rely of your past experience, which never says anything about the future, therefore you never know anything. You can ume the sun will rise tommorow, but you will only know when tommorow comes. This kind of skeptism lets Hume get away with huge gaps in his argument, Hume simply accepts things for their variations, and in effect lets any refutation of his philosophy dissolve within it.
