  • David Hume wrote about this exact thing in (I think) an enquiry concerning human understanding.

    Essentially he said all thoughts come from 3 processes:

    Cause and effect - think of smoke so think of fire etc.

    Continuity in time and/or place - think of kettle so think of toaster etc.

    Resemblance - think of a photo so think of the person etc.

    The above example would be continuity in place, the carnival lead to thoughts in the same place.

    Also cause and effect…why do bees die but wasps not?

    Actually possibly resemblance too, as bees and wasps look similar.

    I think this is the correct answer, at least in English language.

    From the top of my head in roughly the right order:

    Tis but a flesh wound You’re father smells of elderberries We want…a shrubbery Watery tarts throwing swords at people is no basis for a government She turned me into a newt On second thoughts, it’s a silly place Bravely bravely ran away You have to know these things when you’re a king you know
