Staying with a Question a Day

The idea of this blog, is for me to stay with either a proposition and possible questions or a single question and work around it from its center.

Todays Question: Why am I asking a question a day?

The self-established commitment to contemplate a single question in a day is to increase insight that can be extracted through contemplation. This is possible contingent on the duration scheduled; just as one can be doing any practice by scheduling a time in which the behavior or practice is done.

By taking the task up, one can push aside the greater disorder and lack of clarity that emerges in erratic thought. The question may not be relevant to your goals, but if your goals are increasing clarity and communicating your insight, the question has some relevance to your life, but not as much relevance as other possible questions relating to more rational pursuits. These being, fulfilling your needs or determining what you can do to fulfill them.

While attending to a single task, as posited here, you might be doing multiple tasks and creating the possibilities of future tasks derived from the mere act of writing down or taking notes on the single mental or physical task.

Doing this exercise might be compared to playing the piano. The notes as words become the song. As the question is repeated the words fall into sequence. There is no known music sheet at first, but then you formulate one that can be played later. Not only can it be played later, you might take a sequence from it and use it to create another song.

The very act of questioning suggests finding answers, increasing information and knowledge. Does a question mean a search for knowledge? What am I searching for asking why I am asking a question everyday? What knowledge comes from the answer?

There must be particular meaning, dependent on the content of the question or answer. A conclusion can be reached, using the formula if x, than what?

If we suppose the search for knowledge is much like playing a sequence of notes it is either random or with order which this song is being constructed.

We return again to relevance. When the question is "what is x" answering the question is to refer to x, and offer information concerning the subject (x). When the information is off topic, and has no relation to the subject, than the answer is irrelevant. The question of what, has to have an answer that serves to fulfill the question.

"What" is a question-function which asks for information about the qualities of a thing, as in what is x, although the question can be reconfigured to ask about teleology (cause and effect), as in what is x for? Therefore, the answer depends on question-function and the subject contained in the question. A question with subject A, asks for information of A. By asking questions on a daily basis, through introspection or reflection I am gathering information on any subject that emerges.

"Why" is a question for information of cause and effect of A, why is reduction of past causes or a projection of possible results.

In other publications I dissected question-functions, and here I am writing that "why" can be split into two temporal words of "for" and "because". All question functions exist as cognitive functions, and give us a crude look at the human mind. These question functions are evolved capacities.

Why I am asking a question a day comes down to:
1.) Because - Time, evolution, mental function, desire.
2.) For - Information, readers, clarity, decrease in erratic thoughts/disorder.

As I ask a question a day, it is because mental function, and for the obtainment of the ends coming from the question. If I do not want the results, that I might as well stop the cause, which is to ask a question a day. If I consider my subconscious  decisions or desires, I might also not want these results. How do I know I want or don't want to ask a question a day?

Is there anything in my mind to determine whether or not I make a decision? This is another question, though it is relevant to my life, when asking if I desire or not desire the consequence of 1.

Other questions that may come from this post:
1) What is because and for?
2) Does choice only come from the existence of non-contradicting intentions? How do have an intention without contradicting it through its antithesis?
3) What are question-functions?
4) What are some functions that have evolve? Name the functions and determine why they were naturally selected.
5) Can intelligence exist without need?
