In AI Era, If Answers are of Little Value, What is Valuable? Questions?

In this AI era, the answer is no longer of value.

because answer are everywhere.

AI can answer almost any question you ask.
Fast.
Clearly.
Convincingly.

And that is exactly why answers are no longer the source of human value.

The real shift is this:

👉 The ability to ask questions is the ability to think.

When you begin using AI seriously, something subtle happens.

If you let AI run around for you—
writing, summarising, generating—
your brain goes quiet.

But when you start to move AI left and right,
challenge it, constrain it, redirect it,
you are forced to think.

You begin to ask:

  • “Why this angle?”

  • “What assumption is hidden here?”

  • “What if the opposite is true?”

  • “What am I really trying to solve?”

At that moment, something evolves.

Not the AI.
You.

Your model-building ability improves.
Your judgment sharpens.
Your sense of direction becomes clearer.

You are no longer consuming answers.
You are shaping the thinking process.

And slowly, something important changes inside you.

The number of answers in the world becomes less relevant.
The number of questions in your head becomes more important.

This is the real divide in the AI era.

Not:

  • who knows more

  • who produces more

  • who uses better tools

But:
👉 Who can ask better questions.

And even more importantly:

👉 Who is genuinely curious about their own questions.

Because curiosity is not about novelty.
It is about caring enough to stay with a question.

To refine it.
To challenge it.
To let it reshape your thinking.

AI can give you answers endlessly.
But only you can decide which question is worth asking.

And that decision—
that moment of curiosity—
is where thinking truly begins.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
