What's the point of questioning existence?

Question

Simple question really. If we don't exist, then the observations we make don't have any purpose anyway. If we do exist, then trying to figure this out is only a waste of time and resources otherwise allocatable for other endeavors.

Answer 1

Ascertaining the prospective foundation(s) of existence (if there are any) is the most important endeavor mankind can engage in. We won't, however, render discoveries in a straightforward way. Revelations will be made on a step-by-step basis as we seek to expand our horizons in science and technology in general. In this sense, very little resources are expended on the journey forth.

Answer 2

I don't know, but maybe are brain/minds are there to question things. If we didn't question? wouldn't things just be so boring. If were all alike, that would be boring as well. It may be a waste of time, but it helps us to create things and helps other with their life not be so boring I guess. Who knows? A spirtual figure, space, time or existence may know why we are here.

Answer 3

I think for most of us its not so much a point of actually questioning, its more of a ponderance really. I never question my existance but I have been known to ponder it from time to time.

Answer 4

Your answer is rooted in our apprehension of the intelligibility of being, an intelligibility that we do not impose, and that is given by being itself. This mysterious quality of the intelligibility of being begs us to question why we exist and to seek answers to that querie.

Answer 5

Because if we question, we are one step closer to understanding - not only life, but ourselves too. :)

Answer 6

What are you talking about.

Answer 7

Well put!
