In the previous methods, we looked at questions that are actually stupid. Today, we consider a scenario in which you want to ask a question that will be taken as stupid.
METHOD #4
1. Find a person who has these qualities:
- Confident in his understanding.
- Considers himself above you.
- Hasn’t considered all the possibilities on a certain matter, yet
- Has a strong opinion on the matter anyway.
2. Ask a question that assumes that some other possibilities may have some merit and should be considered carefully.
3. You’re done! You have successfully asked a question that’s sure to be taken as “stupid”.
