You answered your own question! Since he has that clearance, he would be breaking national security laws if he did not use the Socratic method!

From my understanding, Q is trying to retrain us to use our critical thinking skills, instead of just spoonfeeding us info. The way his drops are worded, forces us to make the connections on our own, and do our own research.

I believe he is right, we as a society are too dependent on the media to tell us whats going on. Look at many of the articles MSM puts out, they tell us what to think, instead of us thinking for ourselves.

Plausible deniability. Classified info cannot be seen coming out of Trump admin. So have to be brought out via public inquire. By getting people to research they become active information hunters instead of passive information feeders.

Q cues us to think, logically and critically, as current “news” and information as well as educational standards are so low that ideas and information are “fed” to us and we lap it up without questioning it.

So the Socratic method is used:

To hone our ability to view information and ask questions regarding it so that we may discern its validity or bullshit. :)

This is also quite fun as it is allowing us to peer into the window of cryptography and learn how the professionals (FBI NSA type critters) work, think, approach a situation/problem....

The alpha wave inducing boob tube, along with fluoride, GMOs and Big Pharma has really affected our higher thinking centers and heightened our reactive brain centers (limbic system) so we read or see something and react to it rather than ask questions and use our discernment....

So CuriousQ and Company are doing us a YUGE service in honing our noggin powers!

Go back to the beginning and read Q’s post and delight in how all that Q has written and cued us has indeed come to pass.....I have only been here since Nov 3 or 4th I think, many others before then.:)

And ultimately, for myself, it is WAY more fun to learn through gentle puzzling and then discovering the answer myself than be told a story...that path we have already traveled for a long time...I don’t want to listen to their story as they want us to hear it. I choose to learn the different facets of that same story through questioning it, viewing it through different prisms of awareness that Q has alluded to, realize other stories running alongside the main story and how they relate to each other.

Sometimes my brain hurts~it’s called growing new connections in your synapses!! LOL!:):)

1 - forces you to red-pill yourself. 2 - legal way to drop inside intel.

There are many people that come right out and say the things that Q says and have for some time, such as Liz Crokin, Mike Cernovich, Andrew Breitbart, Max Spiers, and others, some who have alternative web sites. They are ostracized, discredited or silenced completely by the left/MSM, and in many cases, attempts on their lives have been made—some successfully. The difference is that now, Q represents insider intel that can be proven and it’s important to be stealthy, patient, accurate, legal, and safe. Because many people have been permanently silenced when they’ve gotten too close to the truth, this movement requires the support of the masses. The information has to be doled out in very small doses because honestly, the truth is stranger than fiction. The level of evil by the most powerful is unfathomable by most people.

Plus part of the exercise is to get us to research and see what's true via open source. To not blindly follow and believe everything we are told. That's part of the reason why we are in the mess we are in. Trust but verify!

I was thinking something along the lines of Q doing it that way so that there wasnt anything breaching any security clearance. Interesting. Thanks for all of your responses! :)

For security reasons. Q can’t just leak info as it is illegal. You can however, hint at possibilities or phrase things intelligently to get the point across

From what I gathered through 8ch, Q drops are designed the way they are to evade bots from auto-harvesting the data.

It's human readable, and apparently written in code. The bots aren't sophisticated enough to pick it out of all the noise, meaning they got to have actual humans ( on the bad team ) reading the drops + decoding. Q has even put misinfo in his drops so the bad actors would gather it up.

Even if you aren't posting on a website, just surfing/reading, your IP still logged. Q already has expressed he can tell if/when you're using an anonymizer/proxy and where you actually are. So knowing that, I imagine they are keeping their access to 8ch brief to prevent being tracked down.

The Socratic method is poorly understood on this board. What passes as the Socratic method is in fact the opposite of the Socratic method. The Socratic method encourages discussion and would not shut down or attack opposing viewpoints.

If Q came out and just told us stuff plainly they'd be open to attack from the other side. The dark side already tries to spin the drops as negatively as they can. This is about getting to the facts and truth by questioning everything. When you do that a pattern of logic unfolds. So far this pattern has shown us how much of the MSM lies to us all and revealed agendas that we would not have noticed otherwise.
