But it can (and often does) lead to the sustainment of societal injustices. So it is not just about the individual's musing deep questions. There's much more at stake.

Maybe if you toy around with an idea at high stakes and don't want accountability. Imagine e.g. being an astronomer in the 16th century and your observations suggest something that is in tension with church doctrine but you're so excited that you still want to share it but you also want to live

We need to study philosophy because our deepest beliefs are by necessity philosophical in nature and if we don't philosophy, we are like flies in a fly trapped glued to the beliefs of the culture we've been enculturated with.

Wow, it's incredible that there were archaic oceans covering nearly the whole planet's surface, since this is a mytheme often found in creation myths (such as the earth-diver myth found in native american and native north asian mythologies)

Feasting while the blue planet cracks open - this could be an allegory. But it need not be.
