Belief without question is passivity. Passivity is good for the business of religion and politics. Belief without curiosity is stasis. Stasis is entropic, destructive not creative. Passivity is not good for freedom.
Our entire culture is based on this passivity. Education is only concerned with knowledge and the ability to remember and repeat information. Questions (a sure sign of intelligence) are not encouraged.
Higher Education is concerned with furthering knowledge. It rejects ideas that question the validity of existing knowledge.
