“The one thing Socrates knew beyond a shadow of a doubt was that he didn’t know anything beyond a shadow of a doubt.”
Last week we learned from Ronald Gross in Socrates’ Way that one of the seven master keys for making maximum use of one’s mind is to ask great questions. He recommends asking “open” questions which invite discussion, rather than “closed” ones that can be answered “yes” or “no”. Gross, who describes Christopher Phillips’ launch of the Socrates Café idea in the early 1990s as a “stirring tale of Socratic self-examination and high purpose”, recommended his book. It provides additional exploration of the art of asking questions.

sometimes when I'm working on a project I'll get stuck on a design because I *think* I know how to achieve something, even when it's not coming together. Being open to a different means to the same end is a good application of not knowing.
