If we for instance take, as an example, someone thoroughly explaining something which is clear to 99,9999% of the earths adult population don’t you think the remaining .0001% could come up with some? I get that this community is a place to allow people to ask questions they can’t or won’t ask elsewhere but I certainly feel stupid sometimes when I ask questions while attending courses etc.
So bottom line, how do you ask questions when you feel stupid?
I have long believed that the only stupid question is the one that hasn’t been asked.
I feel it’s better to ask the question (and feel stupid for a few minutes) than to remain stupid for the rest of my life. :)
Exactly. There may be a piece of knowledge that a person should already have, but not asking the question just means continuing to be ignorant.
I’ve always liked the saying ‘there’s no such thing as stupid questions, only people too stupid to ask and fix their own ignorance’
Yeah this is true! In my case it became more of a “I’ll Google that for a long time and just not learn it right now” I don’t know the fear of looking stupid was just too much I guess.
