I forget the exact statistics, now, but your writing this week sparked an observation I read about. In a classroom, we are taught to answer questions. Within split seconds of a teacher asking something, hands go up (or not). It’s the teacher who gets to ask the questions. The early-years training continues. Until we find out that asking great questions is much more rewarding, as Rilke and others you mention point out.

You might be interested in the Right Question Institute. They do the work on helping people answer the right questions ...

I always love your refreshing questions!
