Q1: What do you hope will come of the writing? I hope it gives readers an idea of what the empathic writing mode I created today looks like. What kind of âempathic writing modeâ is this âempathic writing modeâ? They ask questions specific to writing assistance. What kind of âtextâ is that âtextâ? Well, maybe a blog post. What kind of âblogâ is this âblogâ? Not a memorandum, but a type of article that wants to tell the reader something and elicit action. What kind of âarticleâ is that âarticleâ? Next question Q2: Imagine someone who is excited to read that sentence. What would that person say? Someone whoâs not very good at writing says, âWhoa, maybe this will make writing easier than itâs ever been.â and say Is there anything else you can tell us about that âtextâ? Some people who are not good at it have the image of writing from the beginning on a blank piece of manuscript paper, but I think the royal road is to create parts and then rearrange them to compose sentences. What kind of âblank slateâ is that âblank slateâ? Next question Q3: How positive does he/she feel? Itâs like, letâs actually try it out. What is the âactualityâ of this âactualityâ? Feel free to activate this chat system as soon as possible. What is that âfeelingâ like? Next question Q4: After such a positive feeling, what action would you suggest the person take? It would be nice if you could actually try it, get a success story that you got a sentence done with it, and spread the word that it was a good idea to use it, and it would be even better if you could give me feedback on how to improve it. Is there anything else you can tell us about that âactualityâ? Next question Q5: What words would you say to that person to help them feel that positive? Hmmm, âLetâs actually do it!â I wonder if Iâll be motivated to do that in the I wonder if they will be motivated by the fact that the person who created it is just now trying it out for the first time. If I use it for a while and say, âI wrote that sentence and this sentence using this,â will I be motivated? Oh, in that sense, I wrote the preface of âThe Engineerâs Guide to Intellectual Productionâ using empathic writing. What kind of âempathic writingâ is this âempathic writingâ? Iâm working on it right now, answering 10 questions and then rearranging them to make a sentence. I think the interesting point is that some of the questions focus on the emotions of the reader. What kind of âreadersâ are those âreadersâ? Next question Q6: If you had a negative feeling, the exact opposite of the positive feeling you answered in Q3, how would you feel? Maybe âeh, thereâs no way Iâm going to be able to write with this stuff.â What kind of âeh, thereâs no way I can learn to write using this stuffâ is that âeh, thereâs no way I can learn to write using this stuffâ? The feeling that when you see a new tool, before you try it, you assume that this tool wonât work anyway. What kind of âemotionâ is that âemotionâ? Learned helplessness? What kind of âlearned helplessnessâ is this âlearned helplessnessâ? Giving up on the idea that I canât do it anyway.

The feeling that when you see some new tool, before you try it, you assume that this tool wonât work anyway.
- Is there anything else you can tell us about this âemotionâ? Next question Q7: Imagine a person with that negative feeling. What would that person say? Oh, I answered the lines first. A person with that kind of sentiment says, âIâm useless anyway.â What kind of âuse is that âuse anywayâ? The usefulness of a tool is essentially the ability to create value with it after one has mastered its use, but there are often people who expect to suddenly get value from a tool without paying the cost of learning to use it, and these people move on to other tools after trying them and saying they are no good. In the end, they donât learn any of the tools, so they donât get value from any of them, and this reinforces their belief that they are no good anyway. What kind of âtoolâ is this âtoolâ? Next question Q8: Where do these negative feelings come from? Hmmm, lack of success experience? I think that if you face a tool and learn it well, even if it is hard, you can really feel that there are tools that you can only get value from after you have mastered them. If you donât have that kind of experience, you will repeat actions like copying and pasting code you found by googling. Is there anything else you can tell us about this âtoolâ? Next question Q9: What would you say to someone with that negative feeling? Well, to be honest, I donât care about such people, or I donât think it is my responsibility to take care of such people. Parents or elementary schools should do it. Especially since this software is still in the process of being developed, it has many more problems than other tools in the world, and I think it is a tool that cannot be used without a certain level of competence. What kind of âpersonâ is this âpersonâ? People trapped in learned helplessness. Is there anything else you can tell us about this âpersonâ? Itâs hard to use a tool thatâs being built by someone who canât avoid the inadequacies of the tool operationally.

- What kind of âmasteryâ is this âmasteryâ? Itâs more like a learning curve, or at least a minimum investment before it starts to create value. Itâs like a learning curve to the point where it is no longer zero. What kind of âmasteryâ is this âmasteryâ? Next question Q10: In a word, what is the theme of the text? I donât know. It was supposed to be an explanation to get people to use it, but halfway through, itâs starting to look like youâre not sure if you want them to use it. But, well, I guess I should say that this feature is not a finished product, and not everyone can easily get value from it. What is the âvalueâ of this âvalueâ? I got a good text! What an experience!
-
What is it? Iâm not sure if this was supposed to be an explanation to get people to use it or not, but itâs starting to sound like youâre not sure if you want people to use it or not. But, well, I guess I should say that this feature is not a finished product, nor is it easy for anyone to get value from it.
- Is there anything else you can tell us about this âfeelingâ? Yeah, well, you donât have to use it at this point.

- Is there anything else you can tell us about this âvalueâ? The author didnât know if it would be worth it or not, since this was the first time it was used in the first place. What kind of âvalue can be obtainedâ is that âvalue can be obtainedâ? If I write good sentences as a result of this chat, OK. What kind of âgood writingâ is that âgood writingâ? Ah, I seeâŠI seeâŠthatâs a difficult questionâŠI can tell after the fact that a text intended to elicit action from others was good writing when that action is actually elicited. I was initially hoping to elicit the action of âtry it out,â but as we talked, I began to think that I didnât need to try it out yet at this stage. Then what is the purpose of this text? What else can you tell us about that âgood writingâ? At any rate, I hope this gives you an idea of what Iâm trying to create. What kind of âIâ is that âIâ? If you look closely, youâll see that I answered the first question by saying, âI hope the reader can tell what the empathy writing mode I created today is all about.â Is there anything else you can tell us about that âreaderâ? If the message is conveyed and people think we are doing something interesting, that may be enough. What is the âresultâ of this âresultâ? đ Result
-
I hope I can convey what I am trying to create for now.
- Is there anything else about this âmeâ? Maybe if readers tell me Iâm funny, Iâll be more motivated. What kind of âchiâ is that? đ

Itâs more like a learning curve, or a minimum investment before it starts to create value. Itâs like to get to the point where the learning curve is no longer zero.
- Is there anything else you can tell us about this âmasteryâ? Not sure how much investment is needed. What kind of âunderstandingâ is that âunderstandingâ? đ I know what you mean. What kind of âinvestmentâ is this âinvestmentâ? Iâm certainly not sure about that either; Iâm thinking of a writing tutorial as an example of using Regroup for a specific purpose, because Iâm not sure Iâd be familiar with the investment in learning Regroup. What kind of âuse itâ is that âuse itâ? Since they do not know how to use general-purpose tools, they will experience them with a limited number of purposes and degrees of freedom. What is the âpurposeâ of this âpurposeâ? đ Purpose
