Do you Question Things?

[sandmoth12]

I question everything. It is fundamentally a part of who I am as a person. When I say I question everything I mean it. I question politics, I question military, I question relationships, I question religion, I question existence, I question social norms, I question that fact that 1+1=2, I even question I question why I should question things in the first place.

I do not think it makes me smart. I just know that I take nothing for face value from anyone: my parents, my friends, my colleagues, my boss, none are immune. Questioning everything is a practice that has brought much pain as well as much joy. To not question things would not be me.

How deep do you question things?


EDIT: Literally, if you told me the world is round, I would probably ask you why. And simply saying "because it is" or "because we can see it" is not a good enough answer for me. Our perceptions are fallible, and thus we can only depend on them to a certain degree of accuracy.

Depends on what it is. Some things I question a lot.

[Raiju]

You seem to go along with more things than you question, based on your thread history. You're a pretty normal schoolboy type teenager honestly.

I question things more than I should out of work hours. In work hours I'm more "How can I work with this" than "why should I do this" or similar.

Stop making bullshit threads contradicting yourself.

Ummm, it all depends. I do question most things, but when I've decided that a person or source seems reasonably credible, I'll often take what they say to be either true or to be a reasonable explanation. When school teaches me that F = ma, I generally believe it to be true because I know it has been experimentally verified by countless physicists, for example.

Hah, nice catch, Rich.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I posed a question and I came up with my own solution and stuck by it.

Who is Saladrin?

Almost didn't recognize you without your Hercules avatar. Trap avoided!

In one thread you say that you believe Ignorance is bliss, in this thread you say you question everything. You can't believe in both, you can't question everything and remain ignorant, so you're contradicting yourself.

Who is Saladrin?

Some guy who hates Orcs, bitches about his life and uses it as an excuse for coming up with inane horseshit threads.

Not you entirely, you're more egotistical who loves to give himself a pat on the back over the smallest thing, but you both still create inane horseshit threads.

Pretty spot on. In defense of Saladrin I think he just gets a bit lost discerning RP from reality. A bit of a cause for concern but as long as he doesn't feel like anyone irl is an orc...

I knew this was sandmoth. We really need to get some mods to bend the rules, because it's more than obvious when a guy needs to be dealt with even if he's not technically breaking the rules...

I think most of us know what to expect when we see the exclamation mark by now...

Do I question things? Why wouldn't I?

[sandmoth12]

In one thread you say that you believe Ignorance is bliss, in this thread you say you question everything. You can't believe in both, you can't question everything and remain ignorant, so you're contradicting yourself.

They are both true. Questioning is everything. Questioning is a major part of why we are human, and why we figure things out. We are driven to question things and solve them unlike any other species; conversely, ignorance really is bliss. The moment that you begin to question stuff is the moment you start to figure things out, and that is the moment when the magic of the world starts to die. Ignorance is that blissful magic.

This is why I posed the question in the thread "is it better to be ignorant and blissful or question stuff?"

The only thing you are right about is that you can't question things and remain ignorant to them at the same time.

Yes, all the time. Like why did you chose to capitalize every word in the thread title? :/

Did I do something wrong? You don't have to view my threads.

[Muis]

Right now I question why you keep making stupid threads, so yeah, I question things.

Also:

Because grammatically, in MLA format, you are supposed to capitalize in the title.
