How would I correctly punctuate this sentence, do I need quotations, undercases, etc.? (and how would I correctly ask this question too, I'm bad at this haha. )
-->
On the top are the existential ones: Why do I exist? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

@ninjat,
Nin after a lifetime in the field of journ I've long been bothered also by such q's. Immediate reaction: You're version is perfectly okay but wonder in two or three places whether 2 spaces might be required

Just sorta kidding, Nin. So let's hope we hear from Tes with the most highly technical response imaginable as based on unquestionable resources

This style is absolutely fine, however if writing for publication it is best to follow any style guidance provided by the intended recipient.
