I for one would categorise this entire discussion as extraneous


Definition

Extraneous things are not relevant or essential to the situation you are involved in or the subject you are talking about. ADJ usu ADJ n formal

We ought not to bring in extraneous matters in trying to find a basis for a settlement.

I can choose to ignore these extraneous thoughts or certainly choose not to act on them.
