Isn't it foolish?

Answer 1

Anything that retains a capacity for questioning in its form or function cannot be entirely foolish. However, there is a category of people they call them foolhardy people. They simply wouldn’t listen, or bother to change the ways they think or consequently act.

Any accommodation for a questioning process within an entity is the clearest sign of intelligence, or even self-reflection when questions are introspective or retrospective in nature.

It therefore is not foolish ... even if it has been, it no longer is. The spell of ignorance was dispelled the very moment the very first question was asked. Is the question foolish!!?

Answer 2

"it"? It in itself? Like: "The foolishness of it-ness"? It has no properties besides it being something which can be understood or viewed in isolation. Although all ‘it’s are composed of or from things not itself, it nevertheless is that which can be understood as not not itself. It is that which what it is not, is, or what it is not, isn’t. Thought it can be many things, as long as what it is is not what another it is, though they may share some things in their composition.

So if what it is is foolish, then that it is foolish. There may even be another it that is as foolish, but for different reasons. Yet you ask: Isn’t it foolish? So: is not it foolish? (That which it is not) If what it is not, is foolish, then it in itself is not foolish, but what it is not. Therefore any it which is not it, is foolish, but since any it that is not it is another it, all its not it is foolish. So the only it that is not foolish is the it that this it is.

So there exist an it not foolish with all other its foolish. Of course what makes the foolish its foolish may also be partially part of what makes up the it which is not foolish, though not necessarily so. It could be asked what property of all the foolish its makes them foolish and whether this be the same property, or different. How many properties of it-ness does exist that makes an it a foolish it?

Similarly we may wonder what properties an it must have not be considered foolish. Are there certain properties of foolishness that are overridden by non-foolish properties, resulting in an it, although containing the properties of foolishness, is not foolish due to the non-foolish properties cancelling or overriding them? If this be so, why does the non-foolish properties override the foolishness properties, and is this true in all cases?

Can a foolish it contain non-foolish elements, and still be foolish? Is it a matter of numbers, or weight? Does two equal properties of foolishness in its cancel a similar, though opposite, non-foolish property of it? Does there exist a property, be it of foolishness or non-foolishness, which outweighs other properties, even of its own type?

I must admit, it is all a bit confusing, and of course, foolish.
