SAT 9:52PM
Jacob Goldfarb:
You're my only true friend
Andrew
that's nice of you to say !
Jacob Goldfarb:
It is, isn't it?
Andrew
yes it's very nice
but isnt anthony a friend too ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Ezer k'negdo
Andrew
please translate
you're speaking in tongues tonight !
Jacob Goldfarb:
Are your Google fingers broken?
Andrew
i dont go to google to look up every little thing that passes in conversation
Jacob Goldfarb:
Maybe if you did you be better at making conversation
Andrew
maybe youd be clear instead of being rude !
Jacob Goldfarb:
I went to see my friend Kelly who's living in an interfaith seminarians house
She's in rabbinical school
Andrew
is kelly a man or a woman
oh i see
Jacob Goldfarb:
Another resident saw my kippah, and was like, "can I ask you a question?"
Andrew
yes and ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
I was like, "is it going to be obnoxious?"
Andrew
whats a kippah ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
ah
yarmulke
Andrew
oh you wear one now ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Since 1995.
Andrew
oh now i remember that you do
ok, please continue
Jacob Goldfarb:
Anyway as it turned out his question was, "how can we believe in a God that answers prayers when He didn't answer the prayers of the screaming children in the gas chambers?"
Andrew
i pray to god for the red sox to beat the yankees
Jacob Goldfarb:
And I was like, "what is with the Christians making dumb Holocaust comments today?"
Andrew
this guy was a christian who asked you that question ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Of course
Andrew
he sounds like a jew to me
a jew in bad faith
Jacob Goldfarb:
I asked him why he would blame God when the fault lies in 2000 years of Christian antisemitism?
Andrew
i dont know so much about the history of antisemitism
but i know it first appeared in print in germany in 1873
Jacob Goldfarb:
Yeah, good. Let's use "Jew-hatred" instead.
Andrew
ok, well there were roman vs. jewish wars way back
Jacob Goldfarb:
And in between then and the Holocaust?
Andrew
ghettoization, i assume
Jacob Goldfarb:
That was the best of it!
Andrew
but you have israel now !
Jacob Goldfarb:
Does that make you feel less guilty?
Andrew
i dont feel guilty in that way
i have schizophrenia and i have difficulty seeing and walking
Jacob Goldfarb:
And those are your good qualities!
Andrew
lol
and my eeg shows i have temporal slowing
Jacob Goldfarb:
You should show it to Schopenhauer
Andrew
ok i will
jews are definitely not part of my life, although i have many jewish facebook friends
Jacob Goldfarb:
Jews no better than to hang out with you
Andrew
they all, like you, use correct capitalization and punctuation
Jacob Goldfarb:
*know
Andrew
i "hang out" with literally no one
Jacob Goldfarb:
You need to get out more!
Andrew
i go out with my mother sometimes
aside from that i never leave my apt.
Jacob Goldfarb:
You must be pale!
Andrew
yes i also have vitamin D deficiency
Jacob Goldfarb:
Maybe if you stop being an asshole I'll come visit you.
Andrew
im not an asshole i just dont take chatting seriously
Jacob Goldfarb:
What do you take seriously?
Andrew
my blog
and literature and philosophy
Jacob Goldfarb:
You mean "literature and philosophy by European Christian men" 😉
Andrew
yes mostly
100%, i guess
i did read a book by hannah arendt recently
shes a woman
Jacob Goldfarb:
jewish even
Andrew
yes
ivar teaches chinese philosophy
Jacob Goldfarb:
I remember him reading Lao Tsu when I was 15
Andrew
i do too
but i think he does his students a dis-service
students should be taught the great western historical thinkers
Jacob Goldfarb:
Like Betsy deVos?
Andrew
i dont know if thats what she thinks, is it ?
the first week at RCC we read aristotle's "poetics" and nietzsche's "the birth of tragedy" and were asked to write a paper on either one
are you still there ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
yeah just bored
Andrew
i thought you were driving at something, a point you wanted to make ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
yeah I got tired!
Andrew
well, i think you ought to read more
Jacob Goldfarb:
I think you need to get laid more
Andrew
go to amazon and download a kindle
i got obsessed with women so much i had a psychotic reaction
Jacob Goldfarb:
That's why I swore off women entirely!
Andrew
well, i have read over 40 books this year, i couldnt have done that if i wasnt taking celexa
Jacob Goldfarb:
What happens after we die?
Andrew
im not sure, but i think we re-join God, like atomistically
Jacob Goldfarb:
And what happens to our consciousness?
Andrew
i think it is expanded
Jacob Goldfarb:
Say more
Andrew
im not certain what happens to our individual ego....
and i think it is different according to our role in life
but i know what i was contacted by god it was preceded by a time when i thought deeply about jesus and the apostles
and another time, when i was desperate for a woman, i said to myself, god i wish you would send me a woman and there was a bob dylan song playing
and i said to myself, in my HEAD, i said, If there is a god, send me a woman named zimmerman, and then i will believe in you
and a few weeks later i got an email from a woman and i just had her initials "G.Z."
Jacob Goldfarb:
Who was she?
Andrew
and i wrote back, i know who you are and i am waiting for you and she wrote back and she said her name was Gabriella Zimmerman
and we had a love affair in Rutherford New Jersey
and i have faith in God !
Jacob Goldfarb:
woah
Andrew
i dont know anyone who has had that experience, i havent even read about such an experience
do you believe me ?
c.g. jung says god is not to be understood as differentiated from the psyche
do you believe me ?
you should read my blog to understand me more

Jacob Goldfarb:

Andrew
ok can you continue to chat ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
yeah
Andrew
i was watching a football game on FOX Sports but i can chat up until 11 PM
fox channel #706
so what do you think of my revelatory tale ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Eldad, Medad, and Noselli!
Andrew
who is eldad and medad ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
You need to read more.
Andrew
one of the things about being educated is that you can explain things to others
Jacob Goldfarb:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldad_and_Medad
Eldad and Medad - Wikipedia
Eldad and Medad are mentioned in the Book of Numbers, and are described as having prophesied among the Israelites, despite the fact that they had remained in the camp, while 70 elders had gone to the tabernacle outside the camp to receive the ability to prophesy from God.[1] According to the narrati...
en.wikipedia.org
Andrew
oh i see
my talent for prophesying ended in madness and i am only a reader now that i take 8 mg of antipsychotic Risperidone daily
Jacob Goldfarb:
Being a prophet is no fun.
Andrew
i concur
i am staying up till 2 am tonight !
Louisville is beating Purdue, 32-23
tomorrow i am purchasing Paul McCartney's "Flowers in the Dirt" -- a 2-CD version -- from Amazon
ive purchased all of the mccartnehy re-issues except off the grounbd and band on the run
jake, you still havent said anything about my experience ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
I said woah
And that prophecy is no fun
Andrew
i am asking for your opinion on the validity of my experience ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Why do you need my opinion?
Andrew
it would mean a lot to me
Jacob Goldfarb:
It happened to you?
Andrew
yes, just as i related it
Jacob Goldfarb:
Of what consequence, then, is anyone's opinion about it?
Andrew
spoken like a rabbi, i guess
Jacob Goldfarb:
Yeah well
How did it make you feel?
Andrew
loved and i think im going to meet dylan in the afterworld
Jacob Goldfarb:
That sounds incredibly comforting. Like you were safe and protected.
Andrew
yes, and now i am with a woman whose name starts with "M" -- my mother, Maryellen Noselli
Jacob Goldfarb:
You are "with" her?
Andrew
as a son who honors and protects her as best as i can
she lives quite close to me
we chat daily
on the phone, not thru facebook
Jacob Goldfarb:
Who do you protect her from?
Andrew
from her own mental entanglements
Jacob Goldfarb:
uh oh
Andrew
what ?
she is depressed
Jacob Goldfarb:
Oy
I'm sorry
Andrew
at least she takes her medicine
my father self-medicates with wine and other spirits
Jacob Goldfarb:
My mom eats pills
Andrew
what kind of pills ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
All kinds of pills
Andrew
oxicodone ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Everything
Andrew
oh boy, does it worry you ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
There's nothing I or anyone else can do about it
Andrew
there's such a thing as an "intervention" ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
Norman enables her
Andrew
does she "doctor shop" ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
I don't know how exactly
She has lots of medical conditions
Andrew
is she on opiates ?
say banana if you mean yes
Jacob Goldfarb:
Banana apple pear guava
everything
Andrew
it can lead to taking heroin, i understand
in mass. we have northeast health services, where you can get weekly help for stuff like that
Jacob Goldfarb:
She went to rehab for a month
Andrew
thats where i go because i have a psychotic disorder
she needs to continue rehab - New York is backward when it comes to mental health
Jacob Goldfarb:
She said she "was better."
Andrew
but you obviously disagree, right ?
Jacob Goldfarb:
You dont get better. That's not how this works.
Andrew
well, if the behaviour is continuing, then you must do something about getting her the he;lp that she needs
Jacob Goldfarb:
Like what?
Andrew
get her to see a psychological counselor
shes probably depressed too - most women are
Jacob Goldfarb:
She's a child. Both my parents are.
Andrew
well, here in Plymouth, they have "drop-in" centers for anyone dealing with these sorts of problems
there's more outreach here in mass, probably because of the kennedys
im going to bed - goodnight jacob
