Are the real questions not eternal and almost all answers provisional? It is easy to formulate questions, isn’t it? Children love it, philosophers love it – don’t they? Does this suggest there is a deep connection between philosophers and children? What could it be? That both like to be amazed maybe? That they find the world amazing? That they try to look at the world as new, or to the old world afresh, as flabbergasting, full of questions and questionable things? Aren’t questions the best way to express awe? however, philosophers, in contrast to children, tend to give nothing but answers, don’t they? Aren’t many questions in fact rhetorical questions, that contain the answer in themselves? Asking the question is responding it, isn’t it? If every answer can be turned into a question, then every question can be turned into an answer, or not? But then, the real big questions, all of them childish, don’t seem to have an definitive answer, do they? Why do we live? Where do we come from? Where do we go to? What is good? What is truth? What is beauty? What is happiness? Does god exist? And if so what would it be? What is human? Where does language come from? Why do we speak? What is culture? What is nature? None of these questions have a definitive answer, as they are philosophical questions, aren’t they? It is a reason for desperation, for frustration, existential helplessness, even alienation, but, it is also a consolation, for if there would be a definitive answer, we would live in a totalitarian world of definitive answers, wouldn’t we? Religious fanatics and extremists, authoritarian leaders live in such a dreamworld, don’t they? Or do they only do as if? Difficult to know, isn’t it? Difficult to believe that climate negationists really believe that there is nothing wrong with the climate, no? They seem not at all aware where the world is heading, do they? They are like extraterrestrials, aren’t they? We could conclude that real Questions are eternal, and almost all answers are provisional. Couldn’t we?
