May 28, 2023
Using the Five Whys technique, help me focus on my motivations. I'll start by saying that I write containment fiction.
Absolutely, let's get started. Here's the first "why".
- Why do you write containment fiction?
Because I have ideas that I like to express and I think the containment fiction format is the most fitting for those ideas.
- Why do you think the containment fiction format is the most fitting for expressing your ideas?
Because I have a background in clinical documentation IRL, and yet have always had a strong creative side. The containment fiction format mixes both.
- Why does mixing your background in clinical documentation with your strong creative side appeal to you in writing containment fiction?
I think because it showcases two radically different styles of intelligence.
- Why is showcasing two radically different styles of intelligence important to you?
One answer is that I want to be seen as intelligent, and also because I think other formats of writing usually employ only one or the other. For example, those who are writing academic publications do not usually have room in the same document for science fiction.
- Why do you feel it's important to be seen as intelligent and to incorporate multiple intelligences into your writing in a way that other writing formats often don't?
Because I think it's important to pursue directions in art and literature that prior generations have not had access to. I think containment fiction is a technological advancement in literature.
What you've just described is quite insightful. It appears that your motivations for writing containment fiction are rooted in your desire to blend your clinical and creative skills, showcase various forms of intelligence, and challenge conventional norms in literature. You view containment fiction as a new frontier that merges different aspects of creativity and intellect, pushing the boundaries of traditional writing formats. This demonstrates your pioneering spirit and your deep belief in evolution and progress in the field of art and literature.
