He's right, ALL people should question everything they encounter. What makes them intelligent by normal standards is how you use the knowledge you recieve from the answers.
The fool doth think he is wise, yet the wise man know himself to be a fool.
-William Shakespeare

Da Vinci got that saying form the talmud - an inquiring mind finds truth-
so keep asking but only if they are intelligent questions

Yes but intelligent questions not moronic like yours.
Even a person in a mental institution asks questions all day long - he is no more genius than you are.

No. I think he meant "things" as in situations, to find out why a certain something is the way it is or what can I do to make this certain something work or work better etc. Also everone is not clever.

Even an idiot can question everything. Take an IQ test to see if you are a genius.

Sometimes it is better to appear to be a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

So where is the question in this? you are telling us a bit of information and then explaining it in your own words.
But no question... and why is it in Psych?
