Maybe Dawkins has adopted "pitiless indifference" towards existence, as he suggests in the last sentence of the quote

Pitiless indifference is the mindset of a psychopath

He deserves immense credit for popularizing an accurate & hard-won understanding of reality which he fails to fully recognize as abject horror.

How does one become pitilessly indifferent? That is the question. That IS indubitably the modus operandi of evolutionary natural selection. i.e. our Creator.

If you ever find out, be sure to let me know! Some sort of nihilistic hedonism seems to be what's aimed for, too much makes you sick though. Otherwise its the insanity of religion & politics. No matter how much popularity AN is getting now it remains both unacceptable & uncool.

Nihilistic hedonism eventually degrades into anhedonia. AN says existence is bad (that's why it's not "cool"). Indifference says existence is neither good nor bad. How to attain that state of mind is the quest. If I discover the secret, I will pass it along.
