Yeah, but my point was that it's the same as being afraid to ask a question in class because the question may be viewed as stupid. There's no such thing as a stupid question. I think it's kind of silly to worry what people think about your question if it is a legitimate question.
- derefr 17y agoThere may not be such a thing as a stupid question, but there are definitely people that not ony think there is, but that I emotionally value the judgement of, even when that judgement is bases on invalid logic. To point at a pop-psychological basis, pretend it was your father that said "that's a stupid question." You might argue against it to hell and back, but there's no way you would be unaffected by the statement.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoYeah, but my father is not one of the people on Hacker News. EDIT: These are just normal people, albeit a group of successful entrepreneurs. We've all had things we wish knew. If you have a question, why not ask it?
