I never said I don't believe inthings. I asked if it was philosophical to do this, so please don't bore me with opinions on what I SHOULD be doing, as an individual I reserve the right to decide what I should an shouldn't be thinking. If in doubt I will remeber to ask geniuses like Fraiser.

No - what would be the point?

Millennia ago when Ugh looked up at the stars from his penthouse (cave) he wondered,,
We have been at it ever since, so I guess I would say rather controversially maybe, that it's a naturally inherited trait that some seem to have more than others.
Our modern wonder or philo of today has grown in sophistication probably largely due to the wonder and philo of people of the past.
What we wonder or philo over today would go slightly over the heads of Ugh and his mates but it will seem quaint to those in the future.
Through philo and wonder we are putting together the jigsaw of life's tapestry.
So I'd say innate curiosity added to how life treats ya...
= some one who has philo tendencies
= someone who asks if it is philo to ask about philo
so yeah I'd say it is philo to think about philo
think well......

Of course it is if the question looks pointless or convoluted your philosophising and some spend lots of time doing this and i've heard a rumour get paid for writing books on it!! So why not?

No. You are pondering an opinion and opinions have no philosophical currency unless they are underpinned by reason that could be deemed to be philosophical in nature.
this is the kind of denial that is often generated by the fear to examine how little you know. Consider moving in the opposite direction.

Yes, philosophy is the love of knowledge. You get knowledge by asking questions. It doesn't matter what the question is. The answer might well be unexpectedly enlightening. Of course, you or someone must answer the question, and the asker must listen to and deeply consider the answer with an open mind in comparison to knowledge that they already have.

Well yeah, it's an existencialist "must" question. It's THE question most of the people has thought about since kids. I, myself, think it is philosophical, but kinda redundant.

As long as you exist, you may as well wonder. You may get some feedback to apply to yr state in life. There is no point IN existence, existence IS the point.

It is a very philosophical and really sophisticated question, in my opinion. Maybe it's even meta-philosophy - that is, philosophizing over philosophy.

Does philosophy really exist?

It's very philosophical and really needs to be thought about at length
