¿Por qué ya no hacemos preguntas? El hábito que estamos perdiendo sin darnos cuenta

Jorge Reyes reports that people are losing the habit of asking questions, replacing curiosity with immediate opinions and the need to take sides. This shift occurs because social media encourages rapid, forceful responses and certainty to generate quick reactions, whereas asking questions requires pausing and listening.

Reyes notes that this change is linked to the attention economy, where content that triggers indignation or confrontation gains more visibility than content that invites thought. The culture of immediacy has also lowered tolerance for uncertainty and the slow process of understanding. Asking questions can be difficult because it exposes a person to not knowing, causes them to disagree with their own group, or may reveal that a personal conviction was incorrect.
