Rob:
Why?
What are we looking for?
And what were we questioning?
We question because that leads to the gathering of information, formation of concepts, and gaining of understanding.
This ability has been our strong suit as a species.
It wasn't our flying ability, that's for sure. But notice that, through our ability to ask questions and come to understandings, we can now fly higher and faster than any bird.
It serves us well. So we keep doing it. As a species it is 'that thing we do.'
Birds fly. We ask.
Why would a human being think of doing something that He (or she) doesn't need or want to think about in the first place (ie. what your brother tastes like skined and fried in oil)?
I wasn't thinking about that. You were, though, so you can tell us.
