Give me your hardest philosophical question and I'll answer it to my own satisfaction.
@Night Ripper,
To "your" own satisfaction? lol
Well ok, I'll bite; "How should I live my life?"

Live a life you are proud of.
@Night Ripper,
Good job for answering that question to your satisfaction!

Anyone can do that, even my kid brother. And he is only 8. (Although even he has powers of self-criticism often missing here).

What do I need to know in order to know that I dont know the answer to this question?

I was looking for more technical questions like "what is meaning?", "what is truth?", etc. Stupid riddles like "Can God make a rock so heavy..." need not apply.

This is a serious problem, for certain classes of question. We cant know that there is an answer, without knowing the answer.

I think you need to know what question you are referring to with the term, "this question".

What is an example of such a question?

How would you answer my hardest philosophical question in a manner that was not to your own (sic) satisfaction?

Yes, it looks like a self-test. Of course, since we are usually satisfied with the answers we give to questions (especially the less critical among us) it is really not much of test of anything.

By typing.
Give me a serious question and I'll give you a serious answer.
