 Finally, he argues that experience tells us that simple impressions always precede and thus cause their corresponding ideas. To support this claim, he appeals to two sorts of cases.

You never go the other way round. His other case involves a person born blind, who won’t have ideas of color because he won’t have impressions of color.
