Even Socrates Didn't Ask: On the Hidden Power of Questions | Lani Watson #95

" This aporia, this state of confusion and bafflement, is actually a fantastically exciting, liberating, intellectually stimulating place to be because you're really facing something that you don't know that you thought you did." - Lani Watson Dr. Lani Watson has spent her career on a question most of us never stop to ask. What is a question, and why does it hold such power? Known online as The Questions Doctor, Lani is a philosopher and the author of Q: The Hidden Power of Questions in a World That Wants Answers. In this episode, we sit with the idea that questions are a kind of everyday magic. A power we all carry and rarely notice. They change our brains. They change our relationships. They shape the very answers we receive. We talk about Socrates and the gift of not knowing. We talk about a world racing toward answers, and what we lose when we rush past the question. We talk about who gets to ask, and who does not. Come sit with the questions a while. There is power in the asking, and it belongs to all of us.
