"I'm pretty sure that the only real function of a teacher is to guide students in asking and pursuing questions. Once a student develops the rare talent for seeking his or her own ignorance, teachers become irrelevant. But it's hard to look at your own ignorance. And it's not easy to ask a true question. It feels like humiliation."
But a little humiliation is worth it to find the bliss within your ignorance. Since "Knowledge...flows to the point of greatest ignorance.", it's the real questions that break the dams impeding that flow. As a result, it behooves teams and organizations to both solicit and embrace them.
