A conversation with Eliza

M-x doctor RET

I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time you are finished talking, type RET twice.

I am upset. Joseph Weizenbaum has passed away.

Weizenbaum? Hah! I would appreciate it if you would continue.

I think that the curse of being middle-aged is that you see all of the
greats that preceded you eventually pass away.

Is it because the curse of being middle aged is that I see all of the greats that preceded me eventually pass away that you came to me?

Yes. I mean, how could I argue with that bit of insight?

Does it bother you that could you argue with that bit of insight?

Nope.

Can you elaborate on that?

Yow!

Yow! Are we interactive yet?
