What is the deepest question about reality you can ask?

Is it Theological?

or

Philosophical?

What is it?

The deepest question one can ask is, simply, "Why?" I think this, more than anything else, opens up both the heart and the mind.

What's that smell?

😕

Also: see Mindship's answer.

Why do we live
Why do we exist

I was going to say that too! 😄

Ooo That Smell, Can'tcha Smell That Smell!!

why are there concepts/anything{paradox/self negation and non existance and trancendance included}?
why does a "WHY" exist? or why do things exist in a way as to even bring up a guery/word "why"?
do i exist?
am i who i think i am?
does a world exist or is it just my own imagination?
why am i ONE thing and not another{i.e. why do EXISTANCE etc define me}?
how many OTHER things are there?{i.e. beyond existance/non existance}
why are there things i can not comprehend?
what are the things i can not comprehend?
do i have free will?
what is true love?
does subjective qualia exist?
if it does than how do other people expirience the world?
etc etc etc etc

If we didn't ask "why", we would never create. It's in our nature.

How can I help others?

the deepest question on reality is whether or not there IS a reality.
how do you justify reality?
what makes it "real"?

above all though the question i always ponder is this:
is there a reality that can unify all human beings?

I think people confuse "depth" with the ability to word things in such a way that they cannot be answered...

How bout you list a question, so I can understand your point completely?

What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?

When do I level-up? Where are the saving points in this game? What kind of combos do I get?

or

When is my real family gonna come and pick me up and take me back to our home planet?

Why do people try to destroy truth?

Why are we here
why does the universe exist
what is the point of life...

ect.

none of them are "real" questions, meaning they aren't answerable because they presume unknowable motivation. Its not "deep" to question your own existence, it is in fact a tautologically redundant exercise.

EDIT: a valid question may be "how", but imho that is a matter of complexity and not "depth"

EDIT again: In response to the question in general, the "deepest" questions about reality one can ask would relate to the moral way for people to interact with one another

"Who will do better than heath as the joker" 🙁

I think I'd have to go with "what if?"

I think we all were.

The deepest question one can ask is to give an answer.
