Why stop there? There are so many subjects we need to go deep into and reach the philosophical truths of.
I mean, we assume cars travel through locomotion caused by a combustion engine but maybe theres a metaphysical aspect to that too. Something we can't comprehend in the background that helps make it move.
Why these metaphysical questions are only directed towards god and the mind is an utter mystery to me. I'm sure it has nothing to do with ego or a fear of death.
You are still making way too many assumptions in my opinion, about what people are thinking and why.
You are right, though. All those aspects of the framework we live in, whatever it is, are essentially mysterious at the source. Just ask why any force exists, and you're hooped already, because the answer is always "just because" or "who knows?"
