Yes that must be conclusion of any materialist atheist.
If there is no "cause" for things, other than material interaction, then its all pointless. Even the realization that its pointless, is itself pointless.
A snake eating its own tail, all meaning collapses in on itself and existence it utterly pointless.
I have been nurturing a theory lately that the biggest psyop is that atheism doesn't exist. I don't believe that there are any actual believers in it. I find the idea sorta funny, that the New Atheist routinely derided believers with the "invisible man in the sky" insult, but it is they themselves LARP as non-believers, but secretly believe.

I'm not too familiar with his teachings (or lack of them), but it sounds like he was, which is not very typical for eastern mystics afaik.

ime it's hard to avoid unconsciously believing. I think humans tend to agent-ize everything - even the source of life's mysteries and whether we want to or not.

Yes, I've read him before, long time ago. I think the book or essay was called something like "your mind is the enemy" and it was interesting. From what I remember he was basically advocating against thinking, he advocated living in the moment as much as possible pretty much as animals do.
