I wrote about why in the first blog, but here I want to write about how it can be used, in more detail.
It can be asked for knowing the results of:
1. Self
2. People
3. Physical events
1) One can observe their own intentions, and discover why they are doing things. Even though one might not be consciousness, that is have awareness of the ends of their actions they may still act for those ends. This is probably what we observe happening if we could read the minds or tell what the minds of other animals were thinking like. The mechanisms that are activated upon ends, for need fulfillment in other animals, may not be questions so as to have knowledge of those ends.
If one observes themselves and how they are going about achieving the ends of their desires, they can ask "why" they are doing something, and may know because of repetition the "results" and therefore have access to information or a description of those probable results.
While observing need-mechanisms, one can observe themselves acting so as to consume, so as to reach a position, so as to achieve some desired quality.
Upon observing one's self, as in the observation of other's intentions and their ends, they may judge or choose them based on their rejection or acceptance of them. So a person may be caught up doing something, having accepted ends with out knowing them, or without realizing they were acting for them, and ask themselves why, and the proceed to consciously avoid or approach those ends.
The question why itself, and the awareness of the end, may create an aversive or approach reaction, without awareness of the duality of intention (won't/will, as written on in other articles).
2) One can observe the actions or behaviors of others, and might be able to deduce why the other is caught up, or doing, those things.
It is useful, at times to ask "why as for", in order to gain an idea of what the other is working towards, that is intending to exist as a result of their action. Some examples: "Why are you turning on the Television?" "Why are you taking this road?" "Why do adhere to that belief?" Any question of another intentions may be because of the existence of end that they can bring into your own consciousness field, and make you realize.
Caught up in mutual intentions, one can as a power of judgment, accept or deny those intentions from happening. Example, "will you go (future tense) to the movies with me." Intentions work as requests, however, sometimes individuals are willed or put into events, without realizing their ability to deny or accept, or knowing what ends will be actualized upon the mutual intentions. There is nothing more to intention besides origination and acceptance or denying of ends.
We are formed by the ends we repeat or the ends we are working towards! Both long-term and routine ends are transformation components of life or of human actuality. This will be written on in future blogs.
3.) We may observe physical phenomena and deduce because of similar experiences what is going to happen. x turns into y, only in consciousness as one is aware of the likely-hood of events repeating themselves. For example, one can ask what will become of a storm, this question is to ask for the ends of the event. With acknowledgement of the storms secondary properties, such as size and strength, from these properties there can come formation of results that one has foresight of. This is the same in any case where predictability exists.
When is why a futile question? A person may do something because they desire it, not really knowing the effects. Usually whey they are doing this, they revert backward to answer the question as in, "because I said so," instead of "because I want you "to be"(future considerations)".
In general why is futile when asking for the results of something A) unpredicted or B) not intended with ends in mind. No matter how much you ask a toddler (who can't speak) what it is intending to do it will not answer. It doesn't have the ability to deduce from its own intentions and behaviors what they will result in. Because of this, we may thinking of people who use the tool of why and judgment combined, as functioning at a more developed approach to reasoning, i.e. determining actions or physical events.
When is why insufficient in identifying things? Why is teleological, what is ontological. "what are you doing" a question of present action, is different than "what (why) are you doing x for?"
Questions that can come from this:
1) The difference between knowing and intending?
2) How to identify the who/person?
3) The importance of teleological and ontological distinction in child-development? How to teach children faster using teleological and ontological devices?
4) What is an algorithm for knowing "action to result?"
5) Teleology and ontology: How does this knowledge become developed with the Algorithm in mind?
6) How does the value of something determine our feelings when lost or gained?
