It’s Not So Easy to Stay Ignorant if You Ask Questions

I observed that fools don’t ask questions.

I also observed that real fools don’t ask questions — even when they don’t have a clue

Know a fool if he doesn’t ask you questions about something he clearly doesn’t have a clue about

 

Some men ask questions.

Some men ask questions about that which they don’t understand

Whether it’s what they see or what they heard

They will ask me to explain my point

They will say: “I Don’t understand”

 

Some men don’t ask questions

Perhaps they understand the nature of the universe

And when I speak to them — perhaps they understand every single word I utter

And perhaps every single word I utter is profoundly true and wise — which is why they have NO QUESTIONS

Or perhaps they simply don’t understand what the fuck I’m talking about

Perhaps they simply don’t understand what the fuck they’re reading

Perhaps they simply don’t understand WHAT THE FUCK is GOING ON AROUND THEM

 

And they won’t ask questions

Instead they will have opinions

Instead they think they DO have a clue

Don’t they know that they don’t know?

 

If you think you know — then all hope is lost for you.

You can’t learn the truth if you think you already know the truth.

If you “know” the truth — then everything else is the untruth

 

If you don’t ask questions — then your only hope is that answers come to you.

This seems to be the main driving force in our society, mind you: receiving READY solutions — and on their quality depends quality of our lives

When your influence is good: you get educated, you hang out with the right crowd, you take on appropriate beliefs, you take on good habits, you even GROOM yourself particular way

When your influence is wrong: you become the victim, the thug, the reject, the low-life, the lower-tier, the lower class, you name it.

When things go wrong you blame your influences — when things go right you think you are so great

When in truth in both cases you failed: because you didn’t choose your own path, didn’t choose yourself

You better ask questions to get answers

Including the answer to the question “WHO YOU ARE”

 

So don’t be a fool

Ask the fucking questions

and surround yourself with people who also ask questions

and who challenge you

and know a moron quickly by him NOT ASKING YOU QUESTIONS

know a moron quickly if he has more answers then he has questions

e.g. politicians, experts, professional advisers, etc

and know a moron quickly by him not asking questions — ESPECIALLY when you know he doesn’t have a clue

and if you yourself are guilty of not asking question so as so not reveal your ignorance — it’s as good as pretending you have a clue, which is as good as being an idiot. If you are not willing to admit your own ignorance — you will stay ignorant

Get comfortable looking stupid — and you may just stop being stupid
