What is college most useful for? to learn to ask good questions

If you are raised in a religion like I was you are not really supposed to ask questions. The problem with all religions is that in some ways they are like fairy tales because they are designed to keep children from running off of cliffs when something bad happens and dying more than anything else. Maybe in the past we just let children run off of cliffs willy nilly but since religions this changed a lot.

So, college is good for the following reason. It tends to make you ask questions if you haven't asked these questions before.

It's true that most people are afraid to ask real questions because you really have to be really brave or in some cases really stupid to ask certain questions to begin with.

But, without asking the questions as they arise in your mind often you are dead by 20 or 30 years old or you wish you were dead by 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or later instead.

So, asking questions (formulating Good questions) for yourselves, your families and for your area your governments etc. is what colleges are actually good for from my point of view.

They are good for asking the right questions about your life and the lives around you to where you might actually want to be alive living your life instead of wishing you were dead most days.

So, this is one reason why I'm still alive and many other people are not.

I still ask questions like I learned to first from my father (who was valedictorian of his senior High school class) And from going to college where I refined my skill of formulating good questions about literally anything in life.

The point of formulating good questions is "IF you do this and then you put your question out there online  you might get potentially 8 billion people to answer those questions and thereby save the whole human race from extinction.

To me, this is the whole point of asking really good questions. You prevent human extinction by asking the right questions at the right time.

By God's Grace
