Rav Nahman [of Uman and Breslov] emphasized saying the words and going on.  But his approach was towards the Oral and Written Law. In fact he gave  a list of what one ought to finish every years in such a fashion, the two Talmuds, Rif, Rosh, all the Midrashim etc.
But based on some Rishonim [medieval authorities] I expand that to include Physics and Mathematics.[Not all Rishonim agree].
Now one one hand R. Natan the disciple of Rav Nahman held one ought not to learn these subjects at all. To him they were all in the category of "outside wisdoms". In Sanhedrin   there is a list of things for which one loses his or her portion in the next world. One of them is he who reads "outside books".

The way I usually deal with this was to apply what Rav Nahman had said about doctors to the issue. Rav Nahman strongly turned people to avoid doctors. However when a true vaccine came out in those days he said one must take it. So avoiding doctors did not refer to true medicine. In those days oxygen had not even been discovered. Doctors were still going with the four humors of the ancient Greeks and blood letting.[ the four humors—blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm].

So my feeling about this is his objection against outside wisdoms was pseudo man made wisdoms. Not true Physics in which the Glory of God is revealed.

In the laws concerning a "Herem" excommunication there a very relevant point that one who ignore the excommunication is also comes automatically under the terms of the excommunication.

This would show why the religious world is so corrupt. Because they universally ignore the signature of the Gra on the letter of excommunication.

That unfortunately includes the Litvak yeshivas.

[What I mean here is that Herem is different from Nidui. In Nidui one can learn Torah and teach. But in Herem no one can learn nor from the one under herem and nor can he learn himself. One of the major halacha books of the litvak yeshiva world brings constantly sources that were under the herem so that sort of excludes the entire Litvak world
Sp the proper approach is to start to be alert to the fact that one must have nothing to do with the Sitra Achra. [Dark Side.]

However I must add that the actual language of the herem was not on the Baal Shem Tov himself nor most of his disciples. So Rav Nahman would clearly be in the clear, See the actual language and you will see what  mean.

So yeshivas might learn Halacha in the morning, and that makes sense; but the not the way they are doing it. Rather the Shulchan Aruch with the Beer Hetaiv or the Tur with the Beit Yoseph.

In short, the Gra must be taken seriously. The facy of his being ignored is what has caused the most of religious world to be absorbed into the Sitra Achra Dark Side, as anyone who has tasted of it can already testify without my help.
And there is an added degree of responsibility of the Litvak yeshivas because all Israel looks to them to set the standard of what is really kosher and what is not. Even of many people do not follow this their example strictly still they look towards the Litvak would to tell the rest of us what really is ok and what is not. So when they ignore the Gra about this most essential issue they are really messing up.

The next world war I can imagine could start between India and China, and only from there spread to everyone else. [or Japan and Taiwan].

I have thought about what would be a benefit for the many {זיכוי הרבים} and it occurred to me today that building yeshivas on the name of the Gra would be the best idea. However for me personally that does not seem like a possibility. So instead perhaps I could recommend to others that do in fact have the ability to do so.

But to be more specific let me just say that the name of the Gra would be great because that name implies a certain way of learning Torah and a certain path which is pure authentic Torah. So even if someone like myself or others do not merit to walk in the straight and narrow path of true Torah at least the message would be clear.

And perhaps even the great Litvak yeshivas this would be a good idea i.e. to be more careful about the path of the Gra since that is (after all) exactly what they were founded on (but without the name).

[But I do have to add that  learning the "seven wisdoms" was definitely a part of the path of the Gra but this for some reason is not well known. ]

President Trump: Do not give in on any issue. Support the police. The coming election makes no difference. Do what is right now. Support the police and do not give in an inch.

But to call slavery wrong would be saying that the Old Testament is evil.

There is nothing wrong with slavery. The main issue is how you treat a slave. [It is after all better that freeing them and then having them destroy Western Civilization.] In its essence however there is nothing wrong with it. And not only that but the fact that many people accept the idea that slavery is wrong. So they have already given up on the Bible.
So making war on the South was a mistake that has come back to haunt us.

[It occurred to me that Rav Nahman hinted to this situation in his 13 stories.--about the country that life had lost its flavour. The food had its its taste. The smells did not smell right. Everything was empty. In that story it turned out the cause was imported slaves. The advice that worked to save that country was to deport them. It does not seem clear how that might work today.]

Some Christians claim that Slavery is wrong. So the the Bible when you have slavery according to them  is evil? (This is not to mention the letter of Peter [first letter second chapter] which says slaves should obey their masters.) Clearly Catholic doctrine is that the commandments of God are good, not evil. [Of course I am referring to the institution in the Bible of slavery of both Israelis and gentiles but also I am thinking of Jesus who held everything in God's Law is good and will never pass away. Paul also stated the Law of God is good but he held that after Jesus came people no longer have to keep some aspects of it. Aquinas goes into that in detail. [That is where the Natural Law aspect of Torah gets into Aquinas. That eventually became natural rights with John Locke.]]
Besides that I have never heard that Protestant doctrine holds that the commandments of God are evil. Rather that they hold after Jesus some are not obligated. But to call them wrong would be saying that the Old Testament is evil.

My basic impression is that when it comes to political theory, nothing is anywhere near the amazing Federalist Papers by Madison, Hamilton and John Jay. And that system of government would still work fine today if not for the race issue.The Achilles Heel of the USA. So what do do now? Well I see the world getting divided into two parts. One part is Mad Max and Seattle chaos. The other is a small remnant of where Western Civilization will continue to grow and proper like Space X.
Clearly the seeds of the destruction of the USA were sown by communist infiltration of the Western universities.  [Now from Communist China.]

And furthermore I think that the best idea for Trump would be not to give in on any issue. No compromise.
