But with the Vogons galactic cock-up terminating the program right before its second attempt completed, they sorta just gave up and needed to find something that sounds profound enough to go on talk shows.
In addition to the other answer, there’s also a scene where philosophers feel like Deep Thought is stealing their jobs and then it comes up with a way to make them infinitely famous by getting them to appear like they are arguing about something profound
