We should ask questions. When it comes to this, or Epstein, not speculating or asking the right questions makes us destined to subversion by an enemy. Remember the words of Lincoln. Foreign nations cannot win, unless they are aided by an enemy within.

Asking questions is not enough, because there is an unlimited supply of them. You can keep asking question after question to sustain endless doubt or to avoid certain conclusions.

Questions alone are not productive. Asking questions and being willing to deal with delayed, missing, incomplete, unexpected and unwelcome answers is where it's at.

I’d add that there is a difference between honestly asking questions and phrasing articles of faith as questions.

Foreign nations would also like it if our shared narrative and culture breaks down due to everyone questioning everything all the time. How can we co-operate and co-ordinate if we agree on very little?
