A great question is kind and open-ended. It engages, inspires, informs, challenges, lets a recipient shine or leads to follow-up questions. And it doesn't need an answer, at least not right away. #greatquestions.

Questions 2/3.Therefore, consider how more mundane questions can be transformed through the art of intellectual ju-jitsu. This suggests a dance with ideas where the direction isn't dictated by the immediate need for an answer but by the curiosity to explore.

Questions 1/3.There's something uniquely compelling about questions. They hold a promise of discovery. The beauty of a well-crafted question lies in its ability to multiply into many more questions. Such questions are unfortunately rare.

. and it takes decades for the state to relinquish the increased powers that were so casually granted in the time of crisis.
Back to Randolph Bourne… the key shift from pandemic to war is that the government loses control to a violent reality where the state once again becomes the main actor. As a pacifist, anarchist and seeing the EU militarising, I am not sleeping easy. Europe is dangerously adrift.
