Have You Considered Taking Dopamine?
Question
Hello. I’m asking seriously: that way you’d come to religious experiences. And if your whole outlook changed because of it, and you developed and wrote different thought and different columns?
Answer
No

Shumshamin, or rather, ShTZL. Hey there. The point of my question wasn’t to annoy anyone. Whoever wants to get annoyed, that’s his problem. I’m here because there’s something to discuss and something to learn. This is a public space, and I’ll comment however I see fit, as much as I see fit, and whenever I see fit.
Amazing how ShTZL can comment under different names and still always be recognizable by his distinctive writing style.

No’ — hello,
Following your question, I looked up the Wikipedia entry “Dopamine” and discovered that this substance is found naturally in the body and is vital to the nervous system.
Among other things, dopamine helps with processes of creative thinking. Therefore, it seems to me that Rabbi Michael Abraham is not suffering from a dopamine deficiency 🙂
In any case, it seems to me that the site’s visitors should avoid raising its owner’s adrenaline, lest the dopamine get diluted—or, in plain Hebrew: don’t get on his nerves too much 🙂
Best regards,
Shumshamin
