Questions and speculations which carry no moral weight, no sense that their answer or development immediately implies certain values for the living, are likely to be trivial in that they arise purely out of and relative to the language in which you are attempting to think, are no more than linguistic technicalities. This is because moral issues are precisely those which are essentially human in spite of the celebrated relativity of ethics. At the same time, whatever is concerned with morals is likely to be fatuous and t point away from the essence of things. The only way that this is reconciled is through aesthetics which retains the only kind of value worth thinking about. Hence the indispensability and danger of fiction.
