Interesting how clueless knowledge-idealists turn it into politically dangerous prescription and pretend there’s no cost to dumb questions. Only true for children and only if age-appropriate. Adults kinda have to earn “stupid question tokens” by showing off smarts elsewhere

I’ve been coasting for almost a decade on my dumb-question token stash earned in 2009

That might just be wishful thinking. In practice, I think those stupid questions get singled out and paraded as "this is the idiot's idea of what an intellectual looks like" for the intellectualizer in question.

If the intellectualizer ends up not paying the cost (being immediately called out and embarrassed) it’s a freebie I think. Can’t control invisible updates of priors or being tagged a lolcow, but you do eventually detect such hidden reputational damage.
