Mad Questions

I am a real curious natured person. Every shaver starts asking lots of questions unopen to 3-4, exactly according to my mom, I took that to some other grade constantly asking "but why?" as well as drove her crazy. On the other hand, I believe I owe my beingness curious to my mom. She was an unproblematic schoolhouse instructor (a damn goodness one), as well as was instrumental inwards my development. She was (and nevertheless is) a real curious person, as well as she taught me how to inquire to a greater extent than as well as ameliorate questions. For example, piece traveling, she would notice different plants as well as would inquire me why the landscape is different here? And nosotros would brand guesses.

The Turkish instruction organisation was non big on asking questions (these days it is waaaay waaaaay worse). Since the lazy path is to memorize as well as regurgitate answers, that is what it demanded from the students. But I intend my questioning skills generally survived. Among my friends, I was famous for replying questions amongst questions of my own, as well as if not, my reply was ofttimes "I don't know", because the inquiry led me to inquire to a greater extent than questions internally as well as I actually don't know what I intend well-nigh it yet.

For my PhD studies, I got a boost from my advisor Prof. Anish Arora, because equally whatever swell researcher he knew how to inquire goodness questions as well as I learned from his example. Questions are the fuel needed for doing research. You tin debate that the difficult purpose of enquiry is to figure out the correct questions to ask!

Questions are a goodness fashion to attempt out your sanity as well as mindfulness equally well. Questioning helps you lot intend meta as well as jump out of the system. Therefore I attempt to contain questioning inwards my studying as I wrote earlier: "For studying, writing, or researching, my procedure is also to bring on the chore inwards units of thirty minutes. I exercise the pomodoro technique as well as customized it over fourth dimension a lot. I am correct immediately on my third version of pomodoro process. I volition write well-nigh my recent pomodoro setup afterwards on. It involves detaching as well as going meta for four minutes inwards the get-go as well as cease of pomodoro. In these slots, I footstep dorsum as well as strength myself to intend meta: Is this the correct approach? What else I tin try? Am I making goodness progress? Can this live made transformative?"

Unfortunately I experience similar I got to a greater extent than into a routine amongst those "trying to inquire questions", as well as I intend the questions ofttimes come upwardly out equally shallow/predictable. Those are nevertheless useful---at to the lowest degree I am double checking my sanity/approach--- exactly non actually transformative. But yeah, I cannot live certain whether I lead keep gone compliant/docile recently, tin I? Maybe I am losing my edge, because I lead keep been inwards the organisation long enough. Maybe I start seeing myself equally experienced now, as well as it is affecting me.

So my New Year's resolution is to inquire more/better/crazier questions.

To ensure that, I volition attempt to install a system. One purpose of that organisation is to inquire at to the lowest degree a twain questions inwards each weblog post. Another purpose is to add together a novel tag to my weblog called "mad questions".

Mad questions are questions beyond normal/expected questions, exactly are out of the left plain questions. Asking mad questions volition require a lot of endeavor as well as volition drive me out of my comfort zone. I volition attempt to give this my best shot, as well as I intend the blogging format is a goodness medium to attempt this.

The questions for this post

1. Where does the inquiry grade come upwardly from? It turns out in that place is no definite answer. I similar its shape, though. It is similar a hook.

2. Wikipedia says that some experts tell animals can't inquire questions:
"Enculturated apes Kanzi, Washoe, Sarah as well as a few others who underwent extensive linguistic communication preparation programs (with the exercise of gestures as well as other visual forms of communications) successfully learned to reply quite complex questions as well as requests (including inquiry words "who" what", "where"), although so far they failed to larn how to inquire questions themselves. For example, David as well as Anne Premack wrote: "Though she [Sarah] understood the question, she did non herself inquire whatever questions — dissimilar the shaver who asks interminable questions, such equally What that? Who making noise? When Daddy come upwardly home? Me piece of work Granny's house? Where puppy? Sarah never delayed the deviation of her trainer after her lessons past times asking where the trainer was going, when she was returning, or anything else".[10] The might to inquire questions is ofttimes assessed inwards relation to comprehension of syntactic structures. It is widely accepted, that the firstly questions are asked past times humans during their early on infancy, at the pre-syntactic, i give-and-take phase of linguistic communication development, amongst the exercise of inquiry intonation.[11]"
That is interesting, exactly also non real believable to me. It is known that dogs, monkeys, fifty-fifty cats tin live surprised past times illusion tricks. So, why is beingness surprised non acceptable equally a question?
Maybe nosotros don't sympathize the apes' questioning. If the ape phrases a inquiry equally surprise/frustration, or stating its wishing to confirm/learn that thing, shouldn't that may live count equally a question? What is the criteria used here? Taking this further, could hypothetical aliens tell humans are unable to inquire "questions" as well as hence non intelligent?

3. What makes a inquiry a "good" question? Can you lot stumble upon an insightful inquiry past times chance? What are some heuristics that assistance amongst asking goodness questions? Does a goodness inquiry involve a perspective-change? (In science, it ofttimes seems to live so. When it is real difficult to straight human face the issue, the skilled researcher looks at the employment sideways, formulates the inquiry amongst a novel perspective, as well as so finding a solution becomes feasible.)

4. When I inquire a lot of questions inwards a weblog post, how does that brand you lot feel? Charged? Tired? Irritated?
