profundities
Weighty intellectual insights
Profundities are statements or ideas of great depth or insight—or claims to such depth.
The word can be sincere (The lecture was full of profundities about human nature) or gently mocking (He offered the usual profundities about following your dreams).
The singular profundity more often describes the quality of being profound: the profundity of her grief.
