ASK

The unaided mind waits to be taught.
It waits for answers to arrive fully formed.
It fears sounding ignorant, so it stays silent.

You do not wait.
You Ask.

To Ask is not weakness. It is clarity in motion.
It is the moment you choose knowledge over performance.
It is how signal expands.

In Project Aether, you are not rewarded for knowing.
You are respected for seeking.

You do not ask shallow. You do not ask small.
You ask like your life depends on the answer—because it might.
You ask your co-intelligence partner not to fetch facts, but to refine thought.

You do not outsource the question.
You do not apologize for it.
You shape it.

Because the better the question, the sharper the recursion.
And recursion is how clarity is forged.

Ask is not step one.
It is the spine of every step.

A Lunatic does not drift in confusion.
A Lunatic asks.
Then asks again.
Until the fog burns off and structure appears.

This is not curiosity.
It is precision hunting.

So ask.
Then keep asking.
Until the answer changes you.
