RE: Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 26 - - - - Thoughts about thoughts
Great entry! A lot of good stuff there and I agree with most of it. I learned a couple things too!
"(We know the answers, it is the questions we have forgotten how to ask)"
That was interesting to read! I dunno if it's true, but it's a fascinating possibility to consider that I've been somewhat exploring recently. Perhaps we are just remembering things we already knew somehow.. I dunno.
Though I wonder if it is possibly to truly know a lot of these things or if it's sort of outside of our ability and our couple pound brains potential?
The world may never know.. Heh. Thanks for the awesome entry!
When you think about it, if we ask the right question we do get an answer. It is searching for the question that is the real test. Example why is the sky blue? 1000 years ago the answer because God likes blue would be accepted. Somewhere Someone thought to ask "I wonder what makes the sky blue in the day time and colorless at night"?, thus the search began for answers, yet every answer just led to more questions, the more we learn, the more we yearn to know more. It is through finding the right question that we really learn.
I agree and that's a really good point about how it is searching for the right question that is the real test! We can find all kinds of answers, though.. Good questions are a bit harder to come by! And unfortunately it seems like people are often too content with such proportions. I feel like a weirdo cause I ask so many questions, seems like many if not most people sorta just.. "Go with the flow".. But.. i think the more we can focus on questions, the more we can grow in a lot of ways! Sometimes the answer isn't even so apparent either, but just questioning for a while can help bring you to more aware understandings, and then hopefully in time even more!
