If the best way to make the right decission, is to know as much as possible about the subject you're going to make a decission about, then you need to ask questions, right?
If you agree on this, then when a person asks a new question you will know that you don't know the everything about a subject, because you hadn't thought about it in that way before. (If you had the question wouldn't be new
)
A question will only give a small part of "the truth", but the more questions the better we can make judgement. So to find "the truth" you shouldn't seek answers but ask questions. You might think that it's the same thing but it's not.
Answers has source, and this source will always be subjective more or less. And the most important question i: Why does this source give me this information?
Another very important thing is to ask youself: Why am I right? and do it repeadetly until you can come up with no more answers. Hopefully you've found some good reasons, and not just because it feels right. If you cannot find rational arguments your arguments does not hold any value in a serious discussion. Except of course in Ethical and Religious discussions where feelings, beliefs and other irrational arguments are necessary.
I would like to play a game, if anyone is interested.
Subject: Who should be the next President of America
Question: What is the best aspect of keeping Bush in the White house?
The way the game is played: The person who answers my question MUST put up a question of his own, so the next can answer, and he ofcourse also need to make a question etc. etc.
By choosing the questions you should be able shift focus to what you think is the most important aspect of this sherade.
