But really, it's not irrelevant. It's a valid question that can be the motivation for "useful" questions as you might call them.
That’s the very definition of the word irrelevant!
And I found it useful to occasionally challenge my assumptions, to see if there’s anything I’m missing. No hostility meant!
One cares deeply about these kind of topics. Reality, existence. This side cares nothing about the rest (having a job, love, friends, money, etc.)
The other side of me cares nothing about existentialism. It's more pragmatic (get a decent job, have some friends, have some fun, etc.)
I keep a balance between both sides, because without the one or the other I would be just plain miserable.
So one side of me agrees with you. The other doesn't :D
