Critical race theory is pseudo science and just a tool for blacks to destroy the white race.

 Karl popper's idea here makes sense. He approached Adler and asked how does he know his psychological theory to be true? The answer: I have many clinical cases which show it to be true. Popper answered: Then if you would have one more case that would be another proof. Then it occurred to him that real science can only be that which can be disproven. Thus in the case brought here CRT, the same idea is applicable. People start out with an axiom [that all whites are racists] that no amount of evidence will ever be able to refute. So CRT is pseudo science, since it can not be disproven by any conceivable experiment.

If people would learn authentic science  by the way of Rav Nahman (--i.e., saying the words and going on,-)they would never be fooled by pseudo science. The only reason people do not do this already is that they have no faith in themselves. They think because they do not understand complex Mathematics at first glance, that means that they can not understand it. But that is simply short sighted small mindedness. All they need to know is that by saying the words, eventually the understanding enters into one in the subterranean lays of the mind and soul.

So how did American curriculum get lost in mud?  American curriculum was a lot better in the old days–the three R’s Reading Writing, and Arithmetic. And the Sputnik came along and there was an extra emphasis on STEM in society. But somewhere along the lines some agenda seeped in from somewhere. I heard the suggestion that it all came from the Frankfurt School and the Fabian Society. These were those that came from Weimer Germany. They thought if people were not extreme Left Communist, then they were in secret really Nazis. 

Critical Race Theory is just away for blacks to destroy the white race.

repeating every chapter of Gemara ten times.

In the Conversations of Rav Nahman  76. is brought the system of learning of saying the words of what you are studying as fast as possible and to go on. Review in this method only applies after one has finished the book completely.

It seems that this method can be applied to the hard sciences also--or at least that is what I have tried to do or myself.

But I wanted to mention that hearing and learning from an expert is also important.  

I have mentioned this before in regard to Shar Yashuv and the Mir Yeshiva in NY--where, thank God, I found grace in God's eyes to grant to me to learn from gedolei Torah [great sages in Torah] R. Naphtali Yeager, R. Shmuel Berenbaum, and later in Uman with David Bronson.

Still I should add that one also needs an depth session. I heard from Rav Freifeld the idea of repeating every chapter of Gemara ten times. And in fact later at the Mir I used to repeat every Pnei Yehoshua at least ten times. This system of learning of lots of review I feel is very important --but only when it is possible. Sometimes you realize that no matter how much you review, it will not help and just bog you down, But there are times when lots of review can be extremely important. [The idea of review I found very helpful when I was at the Polytechnic Institute of NYU doing Physics.]]

In movies, it is often the father who is the evil jerk. In Western Society to look down on one's parents is thought to be a good thing. 

That does not fit with  "Honor your father and your mother."

So sometimes to do the right thing, one has to go against society 

[In this regard I want to mention that while I was at the Mir Yeshiva in NY I got the idea about the centrality of  good character ("midot tovot") in Torah. And that certainly was exactly what my parents were telling to be "a mensch".]

 And I must add that by not walking in the path of ones parents, one is certainly not honoring them. 

 Even though "meila" מעילה  does not seem to have wide application because meila is associated with sacrifices. still it is applicable when it comes to nedarim (vows) and herem. (excommunication). [Meila is using a something that has been dedicated to the Temple for personal use.]  

This is the subject of an argument between the sages and R. Meir in the Mishna, but the law is like the sages that meila does apply to nedarim and Herem.

 The herem that the Gra signed is still applicable. And one that transgress it would have the law of meila applied. So what is that law? E.g if one has an animal dedicated to be a sacrifice, and then uses it to plow. He has to bring a guilt offering and pay to the Temple the amount that that animal is worth plus a fourth. [It is called a "fifth" but it means a fourth. That is a fourth of the whole value added to the whole makes five parts.] 

That is to say: there is no benefit that can be derived by ignoring the Gra. Like the Gra noted that he is hinted to in the Torah in the verse אבן שלמה יהיה לך --ראשי תיבות אליהו בן שלמה You must have a perfect measure. The first letters are the same letters as Eliyahy ben Shelomo. [This goes in accord with the idea of the Gra that everything and everyone is hinted to in the Torah.] 

The hint that I noted here is אבן שלמה יהיה לך = אליהו בן שלמה יהיה לך   To follow the path of the Gra.

Religious fanaticism

 Religious fanaticism is probably not the best approach. But neither is secular fanaticism. After all Cambodia under  the communist regime of the Khmer Rouge  was not exactly a shinning example of enlightened leadership.

 This is why one needs the mediaeval approach of synthesizing reason with faith.

Religious fanaticism however is worse than secular since it is decayed holiness and so has more power to cause damage. 

 The Rambam holds the Atlantic ocean and all rivers can not be used for the Red Heifer. [Beginning of Laws of the Red Heifer.] [note 1] The Raavad asks why does the Rambam abandon the Mishna and go to the Tosephta? After all the Mishna only invalidates  four rivers in Israel.(The Tosephta invalidates all rivers.)

Rav Shach explains the Rambam is going with the idea of the Gemara that all rivers receive from the Atlantic. 

This all for me was a bit of a surprise because I thought all rivers are fed from springs. Well that is apparently the argument here.

That means the Tosephta is holding that all rivers have a category of a "collection of rain water" and not a spring.

Bu this still leaves me wondering why the Mishna only invalidates four rivers in Israel. Obviously the Mishna holds that all rivers [besides those four] in fact have a category of a spring. The point of the Raavvad still looks valid.

[note 1] The ashes of the Red Heifer are put onto "living waters" in order to be sprinkled on someone who has touched a dead person. That is a requirement before that person can come into the Temple or eat of the sacrifices.

I was really in great need to learn authentic Torah. So I really had to get to the Mir and Shar Yashuv in New York.

 I was really in great need to learn authentic Torah. So I really had to get to the Mir and Shar Yashuv in New York. But because of that I ignored the other requirement of "Torah with Derech Eretz." [That is to say,- even against the advice of Rav Shelomo Freifeld (of Shar Yashuv), I did nor want to go to university at that stage. I felt, the only way I was going to get to any level of understanding of Torah what so ever, would be by spending every waking minute on it. Only later did I go to the Polytechnic Institute of NYU.]  And even after all that,-even sitting in the classes of Rav Shmuel Berenbaum, [of the Mir] I still never really got the idea until I learned with David Bronson. [To him, getting into the depths of the Gemara comes naturally like a fish in water.] Finally at that point I started getting the idea.
