Are There Questions That Can’t Be Answered?
Every question can be answered.
Except, questions that are not asked, are not expressed, are not raised, do not become of a question, and are not seen as questions, because when the concept of the “answer” has been present in any variety, it is continuous with the concept of the question.
One goes by thinking of the concept “answer” while asking questions — to say one’s very narrative as a question, as simple as the question fall align to the concept “answer” therefore its answered. Question-answer, and answer-question as they are binary opposition. Could then one took one of the two in the opposition?
“Define question! Define answer! Define define!”
The question above of the title, can also be found to be reversed — “Are there answers that can’t be questioned? or more likely, “are there answers that does not come from questions?” So the answer is an answer that is not seen as an answer, but an independent narrative. Is it possible? Because the answer (as an independent narrative) can bring up questions, and questions that could also come from questions, make the answer that was previously an answer — a question.
The causal system of the answer-question or the question-answer, are concepts. Humans could judge things of a language in the form of independent narratives as answers when it answers their questions, or reject these answers when the answers they receive do not answer their questions, are incorrect, or do not match the expectations of the desired answer to the question. As we probably well know, questions are not merely the demand for unknown first place, such novelty to reaching one’s knowledge and understanding fulfilled by answers. Questions are accommodation, auxiliary for the concept of answer. I know that I know still that I’ll ask, or that I know sincerely nothing, therefore I ask.
Furthermore, in order to judge whether an answer is right or wrong, there must be a concept of such a question before at least the question is asked, which makes the answer actually come first or have been present at the point before the question is asked. That at the same time making the question not a question but as simple of a request for rationalization from outside oneself, to make the question asked has the power of an answer that is collective, and agreed upon as consensus. Outside this, one could ask a question purely just wanting to ask a question, whether there is an answer, right or wrong, it does not matter. One just wants to ask questions.
But when someone asks a question based purely on the point of no-answer — blank, nothingness alike, is this possible? Because the question itself has been seen as an answer, there will be no question if there is no independent narrative concept, one of which can be conceptualized as an answer.
To absolutely find a question for which there is no real answer is impossible and or perhaps it’s only come close, which by not acknowledging the concept of question-answer as never in human language anywhere anytime. But the language-consciousness of preliterate early humans to make fire when they wanted to avoid wild animals at night, was the fragmentation of the early concepts of question-answer as verbal language, this example with wild animals attacking as questions, and fire as answers.
The specific example above could make the way of understanding every problem within the domain of question-answer, answer-question, which now can be seen more than just of a concept of literacy, mere language, and something only textual. The very present, action, and reaction to anything that one not seen as a concept of question-answer, answer-question, always has been that very concept.
The human existence and activity that is causal, it is appropriate and compatible with the concept of the question-answer, answer-question, everywhere and every time there is. A bit of behavior, awareness, and language-consciousness overall is that very concept. It could be said, the question of what questions that have no answers is a derivative of various questions that take a form other than the very explanation that has been shown here. The end.
By the way, I never cite any source because just like Ludwig Wittgenstein said, “I give no sources, because it is indifferent to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me by another, for indeed what I have here written makes no claim to novelty in points of details.”
This but unironically…
