So what makes a question stupid is not that the one asking is ignorant and wants to know what he does not know. What makes a question stupid is that one is ignorant, but does not want to know what he does not know. That is, a stupid question is an insincere one. True? Or am I misunderstanding you?No, you understood that one quite right. Rehashing questions by Socrates or any other philosophers just because you want to does not seem sincere to me. Reminds me of those guys that like to make deep questions just to portray themselves a knowleageble.
So a stupid question is not one asked by one who does not need to know because he already knows. Neither is a stupid question one asked by one who does need to know because he does not already know. Instead a stupid question is one asked by one who does need to know but does not want to know what he does not already know.
Would you say, then that I did needed to know, but did not want to know what you already knew a stupid question was?
