when do people start their habit of not asking anymore?
In a second/after thought, if getting educated by the web needs you to give up your habit to accept to not know/understand, then it really doesn’t need the web [to get educated. (However, it helps, since it lowers the barrier to get to the content to do understand)].
However, given the case it needs to dismiss that habit, then what? Given, I’m used to accept to not know or understand, then what’d happen once I’d suddenly start to urgently want to understand? — I’d ask questions. … Now, what would that do to my peer group? Maybe they chose exactly me as their peer because I don’t ask questions and because I accept(ed) to not know. So, starting to ask questions would wreak havoc on my circle of acquaintances. So, either I would give in or I’d loose them. — Likely, I’d give in.
Then let’s try a different approach: Let’s go back in time, a little, until I am not yet that dependent on them, my peer group. When is that? Likely while I’m still in education — school, I mean. … I’ve got a guess here, thinking out that notion of “you don’t need to motivate your employees — just avoid demotivating them”: What if some of the pupils already in school learn to not ask questions? What if that conclusion is school’s fault? — What if not, but say the school pupils’ fault? How could teachers intervene? — What if it’d be yet parents’..siblings’ fault? Who could intervene, and how?
