Why not ask a good question?

[Twistedseer]

From the thread:

What would your question be?

Sorry, I don't like the way this thread is going. This is bald assertion (or worse, unintelligble garble), not well developed philosophical discourse, and so does not meet the philosophy forum guidelines.

hypnagogue, I have to agree with you

Which is why I started my posts with

Why not ask a good question?

But

(or worse, unintelligble garble)

which answer did you not understand?

Its all very basic (and all true if not all that forthcomming)

I would be interested to know what exactly broke the guidlines?

But for this post as this is a physics forum, why not ask about the Universe and how it works?

Or just a good question.

I already explained what broke the guidelines-- bald assertion of statements with no substance (logical, empirical, or otherwise) behind them. It should not be hard to figure out I'm talking about.

In any case, this forum is meant to host philosophical topics, not questions about moderator actions. If you have further questions or comments, please use PM or (if appropriate) the feedback forum.

Asking a good question is essential in any type of discourse, especially in a philosophical forum. A good question is thought-provoking, well-developed, and encourages meaningful discussion. It is not just a simple query, but rather a challenging inquiry that prompts individuals to think critically and deeply about a topic. Without good questions, there can be no meaningful dialogue or exchange of ideas.

In regards to your question about the guidelines, it is not about understanding or not understanding your answer. It is about the overall quality and relevance of the discussion. As hypnagogue pointed out, your initial post was more of a bald assertion rather than a well-developed philosophical argument. It lacked depth and did not contribute to meaningful discourse.

While it is important to have a diverse range of topics in a forum, it is also important to stay within the designated theme. This is a physics forum, so it would be more appropriate to ask questions related to the universe and how it works, as you mentioned.

Overall, it is important to ask good questions in any forum, but it is especially crucial in a philosophical one. So, let's focus on asking thought-provoking and well-developed questions that can lead to meaningful discussions and exchanges of ideas.
