Carl Sagan explains why a child’s simple question may be deeper than most adults realize. “Mommy, why is the grass green?” And very often the child gets an answer like: “Oh, who knows?” But that is not a silly question. It is an extremely profound question. Because hidden inside... it are the fundamentals of biology, light, chemistry, and physics. How much better it would be to say: “That’s a good question.” “Maybe we can look it up.” “Maybe when you grow up, you can find the answer.” The tragedy is that many children learn the wrong lesson. They learn that asking deep questions is somehow bad. And when that happens, we lose something precious. We lose intellectual resources. We lose curiosity. We lose future thinkers. Because the complex and subtle problems we face can only be solved by people capable of complex and subtle thoughts. A child’s question is not an interruption. Sometimes, it is the beginning of science.show more

Great balance of showing compassion while sharing truth as Wes Huff responds to the question of why a good God would allow evil: "Well, that is arguably the hardest and most pressing apologetic question there is, because ultimately, the very tidy philosophical and theological answer isn't the right answer sometimes. You know, sometimes the right answer to the wrong question is the wrong answer, because I've encountered situations where someone has brought up a variation of the problem of evil to me, and I've just felt uneasy about maybe the tenor that they're coming at with the question...and asking them, 'You know, that's a great question. Why are you asking that question in particular?' and finding out once again (like the previous question related to it), they're personally hurting. And so, in that sense, I could give a tidy answer about if you're positing that something is good, you're positing that there's an objective good and evil, and if there's an objective good and evil, then you're positing an objective law, and objective law needs an objective lawgiver. So where do we find the groundwork for an objective lawgiver to begin with? Otherwise, you may not like certain things, but to say they ought not to happen is actually an ethical leap to an objective reality that you may or may not have groundwork for. But if that person is struggling because a family member of theirs has cancer, then that particular, maybe tidy, tied-up-in-a-nice-bow answer is not going to speak to them whatsoever. And so that's why that's the hardest question because there are actually very good answers to it, but often it doesn't speak to the person in front of you, because questions have questioners that sit behind them. And one of the pitfalls of my chosen field of ministry apologetics is that sometimes we give answers where we talk at people rather than with people. And there's a danger to that because the Christian faith isn't just an intellectual assent, right? It's a personal relationship. And that should also be played out in the answers that we give..."

The question is not whether Alberta can prosper. Of course we can. The question is why we keep accepting a system where Alberta’s future depends on Ottawa’s permission. That is why independence is not extreme. It is necessary.

There Should Be People Going to Prison Michael Laws, 8 Dec 2022: "We now know that whether you're vaxxed or not, it doesn't stop transmission, and the question you ask, is when did they know that? And if the answer to that question is we knew it before we put in the mandates, there should be people going to prison. Because that would then mean that you purposefully lied to all of us."

"What is P vs NP and how does it relate to human knowledge?" Avi Wigderson (Turing Award & Abel Prize winner): "In a very basic way, all the problems we want to solve are really NP problems. A subset of it is the problems we can solve. So the question of P versus NP is whether we can solve all the problems we want to solve, whether we can know everything we want to know. This is basically about the limits of our knowledge. You can think there is no limit to what we may want to know but I claim that essentially in any human endeavor, what people are searching for have the property that when a solution is found, it is easily recognized. NP are all problems that we can honestly say we really want to solve and P are those that we can solve. Whether they are equal is just the very fact that a solution can be easily recognized would imply that it can be efficiently found. That means that we can know everything we ever want to know, it's a fundamental question about human knowledge."

Sen. Bennet: “Can you commit that American farmers will not lose market access in Canada or Mexico?…How are you approaching the risk of retaliatory tariffs?” Greer: “When President Trump left office his first term, we had an ag trade surplus. By the time Biden left, we had an ag trade deficit.” Sen. Bennet: “That is not an answer to my question nor is it an answer to the crisis that our farmers and ranchers are facing...That is irrelevant.”

BREAKING: Democrats just announced the NOPE Act -- No Political Enemies Act -- calling out President Trump. Listen to Congressman Jason Crow powerfully speak out in support of the act: "What we see out of Donald Trump and his lieutenants like Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer is an unprecedented assault on our very rights — fear and intimidation — an effort by them to say who can speak up and who can not. An effort by them and only them to say who’s a terrorist and who’s not. Who has the right to speak and who doesn’t. Power is always cyclical in America and the reason why we protect it for everybody is that the minority in those not in power — now it’s us but sometime in the future it will be someone else — have that right to question us, to push back. And if we lose it, we all lose it!"

The question we should be asking is not which programs we cut — it should be why aren't we living in a society in which all of our people have a decent standard of living? Is that a Utopian vision? It really is not.

Steve Witkoff on Iran: We have a 15-point deal on the table that the Iranians have had for a bit of time. We expect an answer from them and it would solve it all. It would solve the enrichment question, which is we can't have enrichment there today. It would solve the material question. They have close to 10,000 kilograms of enriched material stockpiled, which they have to give up. It would solve the stockpiling question and the oversight question.

RDA closing down? It is with a heavy heart I inform you that RDA is on the brink of bankruptcy. We explain it and show profit/loss statements from the last ten months so you can see why I'm making this video - There is a question mark at the end of this title because RDA can be saved, but it will be up to the people, not us.

There is so much at stake in this election, and, ultimately, the question before us is: What kind of country do we want to live in? The beauty of a democracy, as long as we can hold on to it, is that each of us has the power to answer that question.

.Elon Musk (worth $250B) answers why he’s still working: I think it's a good question you asked, because it goes to, like, at a foundational level, what is my philosophy, and why does it lead to this conclusion? So the reason is that when I was a teenager, I had, like, an existential crisis to try to figure out what's the meaning of life. There doesn't seem to be any meaning. For me, at least the religious texts, and I read all of them that I could get my hands on did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. Be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression. So reading Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, as an adult, it's much more manageable. But as a kid, you're like, “Whoa.” So then I was like, “Man, I'm just struggling to find meaning in life here.” And then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And basically what Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The question is not, “What's the meaning of life?” In The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Earth it turns out is a big computer, and its goal is to answer the question, “What's the meaning of life?” And Earth comes up with the answer “42”. This is where the 42 number comes from. And 420 is just ten times 42. In that book, which is really sort of a book about, it's an existential philosophy book disguised as humor. They come to the conclusion that, no, the real problem is trying to formulate the question. And to really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth. And so maybe one way, I think, of characterizing this would be to say, “The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?” The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multistellar species… we have a chance of figuring out what the hell is going on. And so this is why I think we should have more humans and both biological and digital consciousness. And why we should become a multi-planet species and a multistellar species is so that we can understand the nature of the universe. And then in order for that to occur, then we have to make sure that things are good on Earth. We don't want Earth to disappear, so sustainable energy is important.

ELON'S POV ON THE MEANING OF LIFE: "IT'S ABOUT THE QUESTION, NOT THE ANSWER" Elon is literally saying the entire purpose of human existence, and everything he's building, from Neuralink and Starship to Grok and Optimus, is aimed at one goal. What's the goal, you ask? To turn humanity into a massive superintelligence that can finally figure out the right questions to ask reality itself. "Humans are 30~40 trillion cells, trillions of synapses… but the why of it is just so we can increase our understanding of the universe. I came to the conclusion, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy style, that the answer is 42, but the real problem is we don't even know what the question is. The hard part is the question, not the answer. And for that you need a much bigger computer than Earth. So by expanding the scope and scale of consciousness, we can better understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe." He's literally saying the entire purpose of human existence, and everything he's building (Neuralink, Starship, Grok, Optimus), is to turn humanity into a massive superintelligence that can finally figure out the right questions to ask reality itself. Not to get the answer. To learn how to ask the question that makes the answer meaningful. This is why he doesn't give a damn about money, politics, or fame anymore. He's playing the longest game in history: Turning consciousness into a galaxy-scale instrument so we can finally understand why anything exists at all. Source: Nikhil Kamath, Elon Musk

Our country cannot be indifferent about whether its next generations live or die!" "Because think about it. What ultimately gives meaning and life to the United States of America, this is not a new question. Every civilization has been forced to answer it." "You march today, we march today, because you have an answer to this question about what kind of civilization we are, and about what kind of civilization we are going to become in the future."

True when I said it, true today. “Canada is, and always has been, our country. And we want Canada to be a True North that is as strong and as free as it can be in every way that matters: the best country in the world. That’s why we’re here, that’s why we strive, that’s why we serve. Canada must reflect the true character of the Canadian people: honourable in our dealings, faithful to our commitments, loyal to our friends. By turns, a courageous warrior and a compassionate neighbour. It is our purpose that Canada must be great, it must be great for all Canadians, it must be a country of hope and an example to the world. And only when it is these things, when Canada is all that it can be, only then can we say that our work is done.”

“Failure is so much more interesting than success. And it always saddens me that school doesn't teach that. At school the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And there are brilliant people who could do that, but for the rest of us who are not brilliant, we have to strive, and we have to go through failure. And we realize that you don't get it right the first time or the second time. In my case and I counted it. It took 5,127 times. With failure you question it “Well why did it go wrong?” And actually the reason it goes wrong is often very, very interesting. Where something works you say “Great that worked.” You don't even stop to wonder why it works. So if you've got to enjoy failure.” —James Dyson
