As far as I can see this falls under the OP's "shallow profundity" (or what I called "condescendingly self-evident"). If you don't give a s**t you probably won't be asking the question (with any serious intent) in the first place. And where the enquirer does give a s**t, they are still left with a very wide selection of attitudes they might take, leaving them effectively no wiser than they were before this sort of crap was regurgitated.
It really is the most blatant (and common) form of such profound quotes: it sounds great but actually says nothing useful, leaving the recipient free to make up their own meaning - which, of course, they will be agree with and be correspondingly impressed.
