And the question is... (moral, trinity, moral, Zen, Roman)

[coberst]

And the question is

When schooling is over the citizen who wishes to reach beyond naive common sense reality must develop the ability to generate questions. Questions result from a critical self-conscious intellect and depend upon the priorities of that intellect. Formal education has always furnished the learner with a question for consideration. The question asked determines the knowledge achieved and the understanding created.

The self-actuated learner must develop the ability to create questions. We have never before given any thought to questions; but now, if we wish to take a journey of discover, we must learn the most important aspect of any educational process. We must create questions that will guide our travels. We can no longer depend upon education by coercion to guide us; we have the opportunity to develop education driven by the ‘ecstasy of understanding’.


Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
--Voltaire (1694-1778)

It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did."

Probably true, i don't know what it says about me, but i can say it speaks very little of most people.

[Willamena]

Naive?

[Pardus]

If you are calling me naive, you have no grasp of the word.

[RevOxley_501]

arent we all naive? at least until we understand the question?

[Pardus]

The question is do you question enough?

Do you allow any authority to dictate your life, or do you think for yourself?

It is easier and safer to follow the herd, but without anyone asking the questions the herd is blind to danger.

So are you a sheep or a goat? do you do what is expected of you? or do you wish to achieve more for the human race?

As Jay has in his signature "You have a moral responsibility to be intelligent" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I wonder why he believed that? Hmm?

I would change that to

"We have a moral responsibility to activate our intelligence"

That is such a wonderfully well designed mythology (the first one, anyway. the two sequels were rubbish).

The world of experience (the Matrix) is a product of the perception of encoded symbols. Those symbols can only be perceived as symbols and truly controlled by those who become aware that the fabric of reality is composed of symbols . . . It's simply fantastic!
