Also note there is Axiology (what things are good/bad?), Morality (what should you do?) and Law (what rules should be made / enforced?). It makes sense to try to figure out what is good, and to try to figure out what should you do, and what institution building activities are necessary.
I think it makes sense to work on these questions, they matter to me and so I see value in someone burning their FLOPs to help me and other people get easy to verify deductions. I also agree that current quality of such work is not that great (including yours).
