“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”Socrates 469-399 BC. Father of western philosophy.Greek philosophos means ‘lover of wisdom’,, from philein ‘to love’ + sophos ‘wise’.

I was researching Socratic method - process of gradual questioning a major contribution to academia. Challenging hypothesis and whcih leads to question one's belief. Examination of inner motivation and values. This lead me  to read an article on top law schools from USA and "Law professors teaching introductory law classes often use a pedagogical technique known as the Socratic method, which involves cold-calling on students and interrogating them about the facts and decisions in various court cases."

As promised in the show here is the link to the Intel article: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/program/education/us/en/documents/project-design/strategies/dep-question-socratic.pdf

Digital Dreamers all Socrates wanted was to uproot ignorance.So try implementing his methods at work, conversations with friends and family and see how the quality of conversation changes.
