Rav Nahman from Breslov did not hold from learning philosophy.

 Rav Nahman from Breslov did not hold from learning philosophy. That even includes the Guide and the Ibn Ezra or even other books of great sages of Israel. Rav Nahman held they were are all not very good since it is best to depend on faith, and go with simple faith. Thus when I became aware of the opinion of some geonim and rishonim about the importance of Physics and Metaphysics, I choose to go into Physics. Metaphysics might be worthwhile in my opinion, but that fact that Rav Nahman was against leaning it influenced my decision to look into it as an area of interest, but not to study it in an intense way.

[I mean that philosophy is more than just any old area or interest but still  I take it that Rav Nahman was probably right that it seems impossible to get it right. Dr Kelley Ross's web site on the Kant/Fries approach was certainly helpful for me to clear up some major issues and questions but I still think that Rav Nahman was right that philosophy is best avoided,

One reason to learn a bit of philosophy is what Steven Weinberg said--the main advantage of government for most of human history was to save one from other governments. Not to provide benefits. Same with philosophy. The main advantage of philosophy is to save one from other philosophies.

And that applies to people that imagine that they are immune because they do not learn philosophy at all. That simply makes them susceptible to half baked ideas that sound good at first with their poison hidden. 

 Psychology is pseudo science. How do you know? Because there is no conceivable observation that could refute it. [It is not falsifiable.] Therefore the entire thing is poisonous imaginations of sick minds. Verified by other sick minds. The whole thing is a farce.

Another fact about psychology  is that the targets keep moving according to the fashion of the times.

That is one observation. But there are many indications that the whole thing is a horrible scam based on the fact that people love to talk about sex and it is a way get them to pay money to do so,

 Heisenberg I believe tried to sabotage the Nazi effort to make an atom bomb. The proof is two fold. One is that in 1939 he was specifically asked to write a paper on the question if a chain reaction with Uranium is feasible, and if so how much Uranium would be needed. His entire paper side swiped the question, and dealt only with the question of using uranium as an energy source. But that is just one half of the issue. Later after the war he was interred with other physicists, and when they heard about the success of the USA is creating a atom bomb, they wondered how much uranium was needed. Heisenberg did not know, but set off to making the calculations. Then in a short time he came up with the right answer. That shows that five years before that when he was asked that exact question by Nazis, he did not even bother making the calculations at all, but on purpose sidelined the entire question. 

[But the Nazis did  have a few other secret bases where they were working on the same idea.]

Civil War. Truth always rises to the surface, no matter how long it takes.

The riots makes me wonder about the Civil War. I mean to say that the whole abolition thing seems a bit off because slavery is in the Torah. There are Jewish slaves and gentile slaves. So the question whether slavery is just or not seems settled. But I can also see the point of Abraham Lincoln in wanting to keep the Union together.   

Jewish Slaves go free after six years. Gentile slaves go free only with money, a document, or injury. כסף שטר או ראשי אברים.

This would settle once and for all the question about the Civil War. It was wrong. And modern events prove it. Truth always rises to the surface, no matter how long it takes. 

 The problem that the new idea of marriage presents is that one can not be married to one's sister or any of the עריות (the sexual relations brought is Leviticus). Man lying with a man is one of them. In fact, the death penalty is attached to that act if done on purpose,- and if by accident, then a sin offering.

I mean to say that even if one would actual try to marry one's sister or mother, the marriage is not valid. People might call it "marriage" but that does not make it so.

 There is a sort of deep learning that got to be associated with the world of Litvak Talmud learning. It is easy to see. Just compare the achronim after the Rav Yoseph Karo until the world of Litvak yeshiva centered on the sort of learning done by Rav Haim of Brisk.

It is hard to know of see from where all that began. Even though the Litvak world is based on the Gra, you do not actually see this kind of learning in the Gra himself. It is implicit in his commentaries but nothing that is open and plain to see. This kind of learning it seems developed in the Litvak world slowly. You can see it in Rav Haim of Voloshin and the son of Rav Haim, the Netziv in his rarely printed writings of his  ideas in Gemara. It was like it was just under the surface like a seed developing and germinating until one day it spouts. Then around the time of Rav Haim and Rav Israel Salanter this kind of deep learning came to the surface.

The best example is Rav Haim's Hidushim and also the Steipler  and Rav Shach.

 The world of Talmud does have a few centres. The top are Ponovitch in Bnei Brak and Brisk. But Brisk has the best students because it only accepts the best. Not that the teachers are all that better than anywhere else. That leaves Ponovitch where the teachers get to that position by means of excellence, not because of family connections. And that is what tends to make the situation in which whom so ever is the top teachers at Ponovitch is considered the top of the world of Talmud. 

So what I suggest is to create a kind of Ponovitch yeshiva in every city by taking any student bachur of Ponovitch and bring him to that city.] 

There are offshoots of Ponovitch that come from people that learned there.
