We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.
Ask courageous questions.
Do not be satisfied with superficial answers.

Be aware of human fallibility.
Cherish your species and your planet.

You are not ready to ask them because you are not clear and you have not determined which questions need answers.
