8.7.20
There is a difference between keeping Torah in truth and the false appearance of Torah of the religious world. Not that this always was the case. But that was the point of the signature of the Gra on the letter of excommunication. That is to make this difference clear.
The result of his signature being universally ignored created the situation that the Sitra Achra [Dark Side] got inside and took over the religious world.
[However I think that Rav Nahman was not included in the excommunication since one day I was walking around the old city of Jerusalem and happened into a small library that had the very famous book that printed all the different letters of excommunication plus and the word for word testimonies that were collected in Vilna. So I saw the actual wording if the letter that the Gra signed. Rav Nahman would not have come under that heading. See for yourself if you are interested.]
At any rate, the actual result is that in order to keep Torah one has to run away from the religious as far as possible,

Lemaitre already back in 1932 said that time and space come into existence only after there were plenty of quanta.
This goes well with Bell's inequality which nature violates. [the Aspect experiment of 1982].
So not that nature is non local. Rather particles do not have classical values in space and time before measured. [That is before they interact with the macroscopic world. It is not as if they need to be seen by a physicist in order for their wave function to collapse.] [As Kant already indicated that space and time is how we measure things. But with Kant they also exist, but we do not really know what they are. i.e. with Kant the dinge an sich exist, but we do not have access to what they really are.]

Dr Kelley Ross shows that QM corresponds to Kant's approach. This is a relief from other "philosophers" that imagine they can refute QM before understanding it.
Can an IOU serve as money?

Let's say two people own a slave, and one lets him go. So now he is 1/2 slave and 1/2 free. According to Beit Hillel [Tractate Bava Batra page 13] he works for himself one day, and for his master on every other day.
Beit Shamai said but then he can not get married. That is, a gentile slave can not marry a Israelite woman. And a freed slave can. So as a slave he could have his slave wife and not an Israelite. As a freed slave he can only marry a Israelite. So he would be stuck. So Beit Shamai says the owner must let him go and the slave writes a document (an IOU) for the money that is owed.
But we know a slave only goes freed in one of three ways; (1) A document letting him go, (2) money or (3) injury [24 types].
So here there is no document letting the slave go. Just an IOU. So that must be considered as worth money שווה כסף
[I am being short here as this comes up in Rav Shach's Avi Ezri in the beginning of Laws of Selling. In other contexts clearly an IOU is not money. In Tractate Kidushin [see pages 5 and 8 and 47], the Rashba and Ramban that marrying a women by an IOU does not work.]
[Just as a side issue, it does look to me that Abraham Lincoln, really could not free the slaves by means of a proclamation. Certainty he did not expect that the slaves would then turn around and become the masters of the whites. -forcing whites to work for them by the welfare state. And now becoming the ipso facto masters of white people. It is unlikely that Lincoln would have agreed to this.] [The 14 Amendment signed by the southern states under force can not be thought to be valid.]

The world is being taken over by Lucifer.
The world is being taken over by Lucifer. The question is what to do about it. Learn Torah was the basic advice of the Gra except that I would like to expand his definition of learning Torah to include Physics. {This is based on a few authorities but not all. Clearly Ibn Pakuda חובות הלבבות is on one side. Ramban (Nahmanides), Rashba on the other. Still I have good reason to think Ibn Pakuda was right.]
It might make sense for the USA Catholics and Evangelicals and Russia to join up to fight the forces that are trying to destroy Western Civilization.
I say this because when I was reading Thucydides I began to get an appreciation for the idea of of alliances. --even among people that are not exactly on the same page in everything.
[Russia is a part of Western Civilization since Peter the Great. So the USA and Russia ought to be natural allies.]
