Can we communicate using only questions?
If a person writes a letter, or speaks his/her thoughts, intentions, etc., to you and if you understand that person's meaning, intent, purpose, spirit, etc., then communication has taken place. This communication enables the one receiving the information to access the mind of the giver of the communication.

Questions lead, and in Scientific Method, Akham's Razor and deductive reasoning they lead us to purer forms of the truth.

Questions rely on the respondent's base of knowledge and most quickly display their proficency on any subject matter.

Questions share responsibility for the flow of communication between parties and are the pathways to solid consensus.

We obviously cannot do without them and can we rely soley upon them?

What I'm refering to is, should we adopt a dialectic similar to that of Socrates and Plato, using questions and reasoning to gently sway opinions to reflect our own perspectives?

If, tommorow, granted this talent, ....? What? What do you ask a person whom you now control? It doesn't matter what direction that's taken, could you do it using only questions?

heyjme1 I get your "point" should I say, that you make mine?

socrates didnt always talk like that. he used a method of interagation towards someone he was trying to teach, so that they would learn evrything about the subject. he wouldnt stop untill no one could ask why.

i ask why about everything.

it's a little off topic but I think at some point everyone asks why.. but eventually we conclude to ourselves that we dont not know why and so it goes.. we live life not knowing, why..
