How do you know that what it is that you're seeing is what's actually there?

Maybe bring up universal nihilism?

Are thought's physically occuring? If not, do they even exist? For something to exist it must have duration and if thoughts occur than dissappear thoughts don't have duration therefore thoughts don't exist. Or do they?

You might go for questions that sound like yes no questions but are more complicated than that:

Is the sky blue?
Is water good for you?
&c.


Or nonsense:
Does a mouse when it spins?
Is a duck?

Have you found your inner god?

What's in my pocket?

Whats gods name backwards?

Is this a random question?

the random questions you are after almost always start with one of the following.

will i....
will he.....
will she.....
will they......

do i.....
do they.......

has he.....
has she.......
has it..........
have they........

are they......
am i............

were they.......
did i
did he
did she
did they.
did it
and what is the opposite of yes/no.

There are a few more hostile variants typically called Layer questions in the US such as:

Have you stopped beating your wife?
Are you still embezzling?

The trick to these questions is the past tense verb association. You can make them extremely strange fairly quickly. As illustrated by the Ghost Busters:

Dr. Peter Venkman: "Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?"

There are other tactics circular questioning cycles and conceptual bait and switch. However you can pretty much add:

Is your? to any string of nouns. Past that I think other people covered the basis of intro to yes no questions.

Examples below.

Is your favorite color blue?
Is your least liked food cabbage?
Is it ok to eat fried bananas?
Will god save the queen?
Will Obama save the US?
Can dodo's fly?
If I dropped my pencil would you sir/madam pick it up?
Are you a thief?
Can you eat a tortuous?
If we race and I win does that make you a loser?
If you lose and I win does that make you a winner?
If you get lost in the woods and no one cares do you make a sound?
If you lost your dog would you buy another ?
I've lost my sanity do you know where it is?
I've found a brain behind this chair here are you missing one?

These "circular questions" are what the phrase "begging the question" actually means. Begging a question means assuming the central point of a question is true without proof, and then basing further questions on it. A one-sentence circular question like this contains the assumption and further question in one, which makes it harder to separate them.

Begging the question is useful in a formal debate -- "let's assume such-and-such as a basis, and then discuss it" -- but otherwise it's classified as a logical fallacy because it can never prove anything.

Whos hands are these?
