I don't relate to pessimism or optimism or depression and elation as having anything to do with what I think. I'm this beetle that digs around in the dirt. How optimistic I am is obviously just some net flow of juices from one end of my beetle frame to the other. Philosophy and math is the dirt I dig in.
Of course I have learned a trick or two about how to position my beetle body so as to allow the best flow of juices, thereby facilitating my digging activities. I call that positioning 'optimism'. I'm god damned good at at.
But why would some little mildewed chunk of Dawkins detritus affect my juices? Seems to me that if I accept this Dawkinsian chunk then it just reaffirms that it's all about the juice. Let the Juice be with you.
