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
