The wisdom in asking dumb questions

[Selkie]

Permission to be human and fallible? Granted.



@ the painterdoug: "...so Ill start. if E T,s have been meddling with our nuclear bases and launch codes et, why did they not prevent Hiroshima and Nagasaki from happening ?"

Just a thought, but maybe the ETs aren't any smarter than we are? I mean honestly, what do they ever do but cause trouble? And the more we become like them, the deeper into trouble we get ourselves. Seems to me, anyway.

[thepainterdoug]

peace of mind/ love the dumb questions!

why do people who so want to see their maker do everything they can to avoid dying? you fill in the religion of your choice!

[Selkie]

Maybe irreverence is a kind of antidote to sanctimony? Just a thought.




Sorry...I had a troll dad.

thanks all!

aranuk, glad your still with us!
my mom is in a nursing home for 5 years longer than i thought she would survive.she looks better now than years back she's in a bit of a dream world from dementia but is peaceful and ok at 88. somehow all the people in this home make it to 100 years and older!
i ask if they put something in the food to keep them going??
perhaps the cash cow of keeping people going , especially paying customers , runs priority over de population?? we all live and bear witness to so many contradictions.

So much greed. So little time…

btw does that quote have its opposite?? maybe something like;

the biggest conniver is a woman who awakens a mans "generosity" with no intention of loving him?

i can tell ya stories!

I am the person that asked ""dumb"" questions always and was considered dumb and wierd and inadequate. But there is a catch to it. This is at the beggining of the game. At the end I'm usually the all time winner in that game I entered. If you want me to explain why dumb questions are important I can say this. Assumptions can and always will be replaced by something better. Theories even the most important ones are and forever will be assumptions that worked in the past but in the future no one knows for sure. It's like constructing a tree house and to be sure that the tree is going to sustain the house that you're going to build on it you must first digg for the roots. Usually people have build a tree house on the tree. But they just assume that the tree is going to hold it because it never craked. Digging for the roots allows you to see if the tree is going to continue to sustain the tree house in the future and if so then you can continue to build something far much better than the previsious version which is going to amase all the previsious competitors.It can tell you also that it's not a good ideea to build there even if the whole planet is exalted of the idea because you know for sure that the roots are rotten. Digging for the roots of things allows you always to see on what you're going to stay on in the future. People assume that if they never fell in the past than that means that in the future this won't happen. Sky is blue? The question is why and since when. Because if you know why then you will not be surprised when the planet changes to purple or red or black for some unknown yet phenomena or better yet if it will be toxic or not.

Hi Tesla, I can't understand how you explained the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs? As far as I'm concerned they were not interested until it was too late.

My dumb question is this: If the illuminati or cabal are trying to depopulate the Earth with pharmaceuticals, poisoning the water, vaccines etc, why am I still alive after 15 years of having a massive heart attack. The hospitals and doctors, nurses have kept me alive with medications and care.

Hehe
no problem!

No, what I meant was,
if we look at the Manhattan project timeline etc,
considering the dates bombs were tested and dropped on Hiroshima/Nagasaki,
then consider the dates UFO sightings happened (Mount Rainer 1947 and Roswell 1947),
it does paint a rather compelling picture of us having been contacted or at least observed by a race not too far beyond ours technologically but perhaps more advanced morally.
hence their interest in nukes but inability to do much.

also time travel is too dangerous to just use for something like a war observation mission.


p.s. your question about health in general and the supposed global depopulation effort is a good one. considering your age tho and your race, you know the answers.

younger kids and kids with differing genes might not react the same way to vaccines we tolerate... also considering we were exposed *hopefully* to fewer enviro factors than our kids during this crucial development period, we're just healthier. thank your doctor and yourself i guess, or god. not sure lol.

even sitting in a car on a busy highway every day on the way home from daycare impacts your health, it's oxidative stress that people in past generation did not suffer (i assume)

Generosity is not love. A man can be generous to a woman without loving her in the least. And if he is psychologically and emotionally abusing her at the same time he is bestowing his "generosity" upon her, then I would say that his "generosity"...even if it is lavish...is nothing but a display of his narcissism. It is a kind of lie. It is a trap. It is a gilded cage. His "generosity" may even be a mechanism by which he denies to the woman, himself and others the reality of his abuse. Such "generosity" would be highly confusing to the woman, who is liable to mistake such ostensible "generosity" for love, when it is no such thing.

Btw, when a fisherman baits his hook he is not being generous to the fish. That is merely the way the fisherman obtains his food supply. That kind of "generosity" is actually a form of predation.

an addition: So I guess I don't see that your formulation "the biggest conniver is a woman who awakens a mans "generosity" with no intention of loving him?" as being the opposite of the Bob Marley quote. The opposite would be, "And the biggest conniver is the woman who awakens a mans love with no intention of loving him."

Not to trivialize any stories you could tell, btw

another addition: If a man is generous to a woman, and she is not a conniver, then she will feel gratitude toward him for his generosity.

grat·i·tude

/ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/

noun
noun: gratitude

the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness

As far as the illumanati/cabal goes there is more to be gained by keeping you alive if you require frequent medical care There are huge profit margins on treatments and medications. As a nurse, I don't think there is any goal at the level of caregivers to conspire against anyone. At that level I am sure their are folks that generally care about your well being

We ( the medical profession) have been duped by the system just like everyone else. It is really painful to discover that a lot of what you thought was honorable in your profession really isn't. But no one can rob you of compassion unless you give it away.

You are a very amazing person

Reading this makes me feel bad!!!
There was a nurse in one of my autism (yahoo groups) support groups,
I left the group over the NAA/Chili's thing where Chili's cancelled a charity luncheon; the NAA (national autism association) supports vaccine injury awareness --

the women in the group had a quarrel and were asked to stop discussing the Chilis thing by moderators; I asked them to remove me rather than give up freedom of speech regarding this.


I got into it with a nurse and we had the same convo kind of, in your quote, where I said I was sure her heart was good and in the right place, but that did not make her an expert on microbiology!

there were tears and anger on both sides, but I pray she researched some of it.
only the doctors and nurses can really help us considering the authority society attributes to their opinions..

a 'nut' could tell you the truth but it doesn't have the same ring

[thepainterdoug]

thats it silkie to be exact. your rephrasing of my quote is on the mark. for all has its opposites

bashar mentioned that hiroshima was allowed, to show the devastating powers of nukes so we'll learn from them and are more conscious of their effects.
it should be in one of those videos: https://www.ecosia.org/search/videos...erby=relevance

sorry, im currently unavailable to hear the videos, hence you'd need to check yourself.
the best i got on this.

There is much wisdom in asking dumb questions and looking at situations through the eyes of a learner or as a child might.

Here's my dumb question, if we all accept that our government needs to print money to shore up the bond market, billions each month, why do they need a large percentage of yours and my efforts over the past year? Surely they could just print it, as they do, why do they need to slow our growth, our progress, within the system?

How fast would our economy grow this year if the government chose to print what it took in taxes, rather than taking back their old print from us???

Control is my only conclusion, do you have a better idea?

No one has ever answered this question to my satisfaction. The fact that no one ever has, has driven me on a evolutionary journey of self discovery. In order to get out of something we need to go through it. For me, this is an example of some answers that drive us to change ourselves and or the whole of society.

The unanswered dumb questions can drive us forward...x.... N

[araucaria]

The wisdom of dumb questions lies in the opportunity to peel away dumb answers, especially generally accepted ones, and get to something more substantive. A typical example might be “Why is the emperor wearing no clothes?” The really dumb answer is of course “He isn’t”. The smart answer being “So he is; we’ve been had!”

I don’t consider some informational questions to be dumb in this sense, but they do question things that we take for granted, such as the definition of words. Water is wet because it is a fluid, and differently wet than paint because it has lower viscosity. Those are the two parameters in the meaning of the word: water is at the wetter end of the spectrum (you have wet clothes that drip) and at the other wet paint which at its stickiest is almost dry. “Why is the sky blue?” (because light is scattered more at that shorter wavelength: http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/blue-sky/en/ ) is not really a dumb question at all, simply the sign of an inquiring mind exploring everyday situations.

[Earthlink]

yes, the visible light spectrum does go from infra-red to ultra-violet, the red side having the longest wave lengths, the violet side the shortest, so it was logical at the time to form the theory that the sky is blue-ish because shorter light waves bounce around more, making them more visible than the longer ones. that makes perfect sense as a theory, however the visible light spectrum doesn't go from red to blue, it goes from red to purple, so, the sky should be purple, according to this existing theory. Oxygen boils at -188 degrees, and so is always in gaseous form, and as a gas it is hard to discern colour, and it wasn't until we had gathered it as a liquid, and then spilled some of that liquid, did we see that it is a deep blue, almost a deep sky blue, in colour.

the flaw in the original theory isn't in the colour, it is the belief that we can see colour in light in the first place, (somehow our eyes act like pyramids and break down white light into individual colour?) because that theory does require us to see more blue light than red light, to be true.
