The Curious Question is a quick question to keep in mind and consider during the day. When you are presented a question of deep importance, you use your brain in a different way, a more critical way. When we develop critical thinking we become a more independent, knowledgeable, and diverse person. To start to develop some of these skills, read The Curious Question and keep them in mind. The Curious Question will appear Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

After a trial run of The Daily Question, I found it was incredible hard to find new ideas to write about for everyday of the week. So now I have limited it down to three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Still feel free to send me an email with some ideas.

What if our universe was an infinite doorway? Or put in other words, you always could leave your current position and open the door to a new setting, a place where the current laws of physics could be different from our own. The landscape could be radically different, or it could posses the same features. On Earth we have great examples of this concept, the simple change in landscape over distance, or climate change in certain locations. An island is one gateway to the tropics, it has its own rules of weather patterns, sustainable life, and landscape. However, you open the doorway into the American midwest and you find a radically location with different rules Our great example of a dramatic change is the gateway to space, where not only is landscape and climate different, but the laws o differnt f relativity and gravity are drastically different from our earth bond inhabitants. So what if there was another greater gateway? A gateway that could be a different dimension, a different universe, or something we are not aware of yet.

The Daily Question is an almost daily quick question to keep in mind and consider during the day.

If you are a parent you surly know the difficulties of raising a child. One of the most challenging task you will have is how much responsibility do you give a child. Some argue if you give them to much responsibility they won’t develop certain skills, they will be workaholics. Other say have them take care of themselves that way they will hit the ground running once they are on their own. It is no question if you have your child take care of themselves from an early age they will developed those skills faster and better later on. but how fast ca you develop these skills? Or, in other words, how fast can a mind mature. Of course somethings will depend on when puberty strikes, but if you have a child taking care of themselves from an early age how adult like will they be only a few years later. If a mind is taught how to function and survive before it is necessary will it be that much better in the real world?

Intelligence Quotient, or IQ is how we define much of a persons intelligence. Groups such as Mensa covet these people and hold them above the rest. I do not want to say that IQ goes about grading your mental intelligence wrongly, but maybe there is a different, better way. A standard IQ test test your ability to reason and work your way through puzzles, however some of these puzzles I believe are not suited for the job. I have found pieces of mathematical sequence in many IQ test, and some other knowledge depending tactics. To state this, we must know the difference between knowledge and intelligence, Knowledge is information you have acquired, such as Pythagorean Theorem, Fibonacci number, or even simple things like water boils when heated. Intelligence is your ability to reason, plan and think abstractly. A person with high intelligence may not have knowledge because of his surroundings, but a person with knowledge is most often intelligent. So how do you test your intelligence if not with any form of surrounding influence. Or in other words, a fair test between a tribesman in Dafur, and a grad student at Cambridge?

What makes human beings different from one another? Appearance is a popular answer, maybe even their opinions or their tastes. However, the most viable to an onlooking conscious is: the way we act - the way we interact with our surroundings, including people and other organisms. Of course, we must realize that the way we act is derivative of the way we think. The way we think is derivative of the influences we were taught in our youth along with the influences throughout the present and even stretching into the future.

Today’s daily question is on: What should be free? When I ask this I am thinking in the context of amenities and commodities. In some cultures certain amenities are in fact free to the eye. You do end up usually paying somewhere down the line, but in this case we will call these things free. In other words, I am asking what is a man entitled to for being a citizen. In some places education, health care, and other necessities are free. But beyond that, what else should be free, food, internet, housing, travel? There are many things required to function in the world today, of those what should be covered in taxes or other in direct forms of payment. Adding on to this, maybe you should be able to choose what your benefits are to be. Like some health care plans, you choose your coverage. Maybe you want internet to be included in taxes, or maybe you want health care, or maybe you want to bare minimum in both payment and benefits. What ever way it is, it is still a question that is easily ponderable and debatable.

So that is today’s daily question: What should be considered free and granted to you.
