Hmm, I think the issue is more whether or not philosophers, or their tools, actually help us answer our deep questions, not whether such questions exist.
I don't understand people who say philosophy is useless. Look at the world we are living in. Is it too philosophical? Overly self examining? Excessively inquisitive? Are our ideas too clear? Is our dialogue more rational than we'd like?

What about finally understanding what the word dialectic means in artspeak? I felt so much better having learnt that.

People think philosophy is useless because they don't have the energy nor the ability to pursue ideas very far. They keep running into walls very quickly, becoming frustrated, and for them, it is useless.
