About me
Thoughts on asking stupid questions:

Socrates: Then we must begin again at the beginning and ask what holiness is [, s]ince I shall not willingly give up until I learn. And do not scorn me, but by all means apply your mind now to the utmost and tell me the truth; for you know, if anyone does, and like Proteus, you must be held until you speak.... I am sure you think you know what is holy and what is not. So tell me, most excellent Euthyphro, and do not conceal your thought.
Source: Plato, Euthyphro (ca. 380 B.C.E.), 15cff. (link)
