People ask too many questions, they interrupt the flow of a presentation in the name of ego.

[@btsjiminface]

Questions represent inability to take things as they are presented or to fit what's being taught into your current worldview. This may represent ego, but also represents curiosity.

What are you talking about? This is standard terminology.

[@CharlesVanNoland]

@@fiddlepants5947 It's a pretty common neuroscience term that indicates what neurotransmitters a neuron (predominantly) acts on other neurons with, like seretonergic, GABAergic, glutamatergic, etcetera. These words tell us the neuron's role in relation to other neurons that it acts upon. Nobody is "trying" to do anything here other than understand what's happening inside brains.
