Important Question to ask:

Why do you think it is necessary to draw attention to conflicts and problems in Finland and focus on questions?

Democracy can be messy, conflict is at the heart of evolution, without conflict you have decay. You cannot find solutions to problems if you do not ask questions. The freedom to ask questions should be at the heart of democracy. The freedom to question lies at the heart of the freedom of speech. Without these freedoms, you do not have democracy. Instead, you have authoritarianism. 

One of the key reasons Universities are not meeting the needs of wider society and business, is because they are not teaching the skills of conflict management, problem analysis and the value of questions. As a result, decision makers are not being made accountable for their actions and bad decisions are being made on all levels of abstraction.

The University model is failing, redundancies are always going to be on the horizon. Students will be faced with increased costs for their studies (at the moment it is free in Finland). So, who is going to make HR and the decision makers accountable if they invoke safe spaces to hide within and take offence at questions that do not meet their world view?  Or will the power structures dominate because no one is prepared to ask questions?

Finland is turning into is a surrogate image of other European cities and in its pursuit of pleasing others it is taking for granted all the achievements it has made. There is an Orwellian dystopia descending in many countries and no one is asking why? 

AI is the new religion. It relies on questions to thrive and to provide the answers people search for. The art of asking good questions (in AI it is called Prompt Engineering) is crucial to a successful engagement with AI. The problem is many societies and organisations are now looking for conformity, deference to those in power, more authoritarian leadership. But if questions are not asked and conflict does not exist then creativity, innovation and good decisions are replaced by stagnation, inactivity and poor decisions. When this happens, the cost to society is massive and the competitive advantage of organisations starts to erode.
