I agree that everyone ought to deeply think about deep questions at least long enough to come up with answers or have a satisfactory explanation of why no answers are there. But you only need to go through this process once. After you have the answers to these questions, there’s no call to continue thinking at this level unless you come to believe that the answers you found are wrong.
In short, there’s no reason to go seeking new deep answers unless you have reason to think your deep answers don’t work for you as well as they could. As I implied in my sanity line point, developing a sense of when that is happening is a valuable skill that most people simply don’t have. But meta-level thinking doesn’t develop that skill.
