terrorism

my friend Roland Barthes says that there is a terrorism of the question, because in every question is implicit the knowledge. the question denies the right of "not to know". all questions can be read as a position of questioning, of power, of inquisition. the question is perhaps the worst of the violence.
Barthes says that we must not forget Freud's statement according to which any question is a desire for sexual knowledge. in this regard every question is indiscreet, is the search for the sexuality of the other: what is your sexuality? a voyeurism exists in it, an obligation to the exhibition. *


*probably nobody understood this point better than Kurt Cobain, when he asks: "my girl, my girl dont lie to me. tell me where did you sleep last night?"
