I don't care whether it exists, but I care whether it helps me to reason about things I care about. What changes about life, depending on whether it exists or not? If nothing changes, what's it matter?
There's probably a philosophical term for this attitude. That doesn't really answer my questions, though.

Quietism on this particular topic (and it's generalization) is probably the most popular kind of quietism actually. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietism_(philosophy) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietism_(philosophy)
