And the question is
When schooling is over the citizen who wishes to reach beyond naive common sense reality must develop the ability to generate questions. Questions result from a critical self-conscious intellect and depend upon the priorities of that intellect. Formal education has always furnished the learner with a question for consideration. The question asked determines the knowledge achieved and the understanding created.
The self-actuated learner must develop the ability to create questions. We have never before given any thought to questions; but now, if we wish to take a journey of discover, we must learn the most important aspect of any educational process. We must create questions that will guide our travels. We can no longer depend upon education by coercion to guide us; we have the opportunity to develop education driven by the ?'ecstasy of understanding'.
Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
--Voltaire (1694-1778)

good point , question is the best way to achieve our goals.
Quote:The question asked determines the knowledge achieved and the understanding created.
And so the question is part of the answer it provides. Or produces.
Learning to ask questions is well and good, but not all questions are worth asking.

Talk about a needless distinction.
Contre Voltaire, I prefer to judge a man by both.

We tend to be judgemental towards those we see as ignorant, and our answers is the justification we require.
