I always ask myself "why" before I try to translate a thing on a whim because I find the answer usually isn't "I will get paid for it" and then I decide not to do that thing

<NEW FIC!> Revolution #9: Somewhere out there, there's a universe in which your mistakes and failures never happened, and all you wished for is true. How hard would you fight to make that real?

This is the point of the exercise, though, right? Because once you ask this question to yourself and answer it, then it naturally leads you to, for example, 'what common points would be bliss,' and asking why has allowed you to approach how.

He doesn't even do science, Gudako just asks him to google things while she's busy
from the previous discussion no one is expecting an immediate answer though.
Leo just said that asking yourself why is probably one of the best questions you can ask yourself, and that's it.
You're the one saying that it's a weird and unhelpful question.
Also you're the one saying one shouldn't keep asking why because eventually you won't get an answer. Like no one mentioned it or saying continuously asking why at every detail is a good idea, you brought it up when Leo said that you can ask yourself why something is fun or interesting. Which is a very valid point.
I do think its something to correct though. The more you know why you're writing something, the better you can convey that message. The better you get at conveying the message, the more people are going to get it.
And if you didn't care about conveying the message in the first place, why even share it with people?
I think you're looking at this "why" thing too binary. Like you either don't know why you're writing about something all, or you know exactly the reason why and you can't point to it.
That's not the case, it's more of a spectrum. It's okay to not completely know why you're writing something, and sometimes writing can make you understand why. And then during proofreadings and editing you make it better to fit in what you now know.
Therefore when you ask someone why it's not like "give me every single reason," it's more "give it some thought and give me a working theory" because this is literally an ideas thread.

Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
