I finally found out why Kant's whole philosophical theory of Transcendental Idealism is wrong. He thinks that the real world or what he calls the noumenal can never be known. The only thing that can be known is what we perceive through functions in our mind like time, space, and cause and effect. He calls this the phenomenal world. He thinks that there is some sort of wall that divides the two worlds. If we have in our minds the innate ability to understand cause and effect, the noumenal would can affect the phenomenal world and therefore, we CAN know the real world.
Also, Hume denied any certainty of autonomous will. Kant had a big problem with that because he thinks that humans are special beings due to our ability to rationalize. Hume's conclusion of the problem of induction pretty much said that we are like any other animal in that we react to our environment instinctually and out of habit not because there is an actual cause and effect. Kant thought that he could put Hume and rationalism together to make Transcendental Idealism so that he could continue having his idea of free will.
Please tell me if this makes sense or not.
