Word for “philosophical thoughts”?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Example:
What was worse: doubt or the uncomfortable
truth? I was delving into this/these boredom-triggered [...] when my phone rang.
I thought of dilemma but I think it's kind of a different thing. More like a problem.
What's a better alternative?

If you're looking for a 10-cent word, you could try lucubrations, which is defined (by Merriam-Webster) as "laborious or intensive study; also : the product of such study — usu. used in pl."

If you change the word these into this, then I'd recommend using conundrum.
What was worse: doubt or the uncomfortable truth? I was deliving into this boredom-triggered conundrum when my phone rang.
