Thoughts on Question Asking

Recently, I’ve become frustrated that in any public forum (whether that’s in class, online, at meetings), it seems always presupposed that any statement must be making an argument, rather than putting forth an idea or asking a question.

Isn’t there value to brainstorming? We need to preserve spaces that are open to people working out their ideas and hearing comments, leaving space for creativity, rather than expecting finished, static, certain intellectual products.

I want conversations that will iteratively transform some initial seed.
