It is Not Necessarily Whom you Ask, it’s What You Ask That May Suffice...
Ray Dalio wrote as a principle of the day: “If you ask someone a Question, they will probably give you an answer, so think through to whom you should address your question” (@raydalio).
But I’d say Every answer provides an “opportunity. And don’t think that questions are necessarily asked to provide answers but more so a basis for the asker to derive at his own answers. So don’t get bogged down about where to or who to ask a question. It’s asking the RIGHT QUESTION that is important so that one can arrive at the answers one is looking ... for oneself, and don’t get stuck on anyone “idea” but explore it. And if one ever arrive at the answer from whatever question stemming from curiosity, don’t hold on to it with too much reverence, always be open to change as the answers we hold onto may be challenged with more and new information.
Note:
There are those like David Friedman who argue that the saying is a Great advice. Always important to be cognizant of the person’s or source’s expertise on a topic, as well as biases they may have. I generally try to find opposing views of experts on the same topic to see perspectives of both sides.
Alfredo asks: Logic 101 or Philosophy 2020?
I replied: this is neither logic 101 or philosophy 2020. Where is the premise that leads to the conclusion. It is just a thought without the substantive lines of reasons that should give rise to the conclusion. Or is it conclusion without a substantiated premise or beginning thought
