The unity there is in positive transcendence, which is value, where, again, the unity is among things in themselves. What makes this significant is that this seems to show a deep source of faith

 In Kant there is this separation between things and what we can know about them. In the Kant-Fries school it is held that even though there are limits to ''analytic knowledge'' which can be known by manipulating definitions, and empirical knowledge;--still there is a third source of knowledge which is not by pure reason nor by sense perception. Not faith as understood as a third kind of extrasensory perception. So what is reality? 

My  question to Dr Kelley Ross was about this issue. His answer: One idea is that the nature of value is a unity among things in themselves, but is split up by the kaleidoscope of phenomenal reality.  Dilemmas become possible.  The division between mind and body is more like that between internal and external negative transcendence.  The unity there is in positive transcendence, which is value, where, again, the unity is among things in themselves.

What makes this significant is that  this seems to show a deep source of faith

Rav Avraham Abulafia of the Middle Ages

 You might ask why do I pay attention to Rav Avraham Abulafia of the Middle Ages in terms of sensitive subjects. Faith in the wise is one of the most important principles by which the Torah is acquired.  The only thing is one needs a certain degree of sense to be able to discern who really is wise and who is faking it.

In fact this is one of the problems of very smart people. They tend to not know their limits.. In the Midrash its says that the mother of Samuel the prophet prayed that her son should not be overly smart nor dumb.

;There are more parasites in the seas than in the past. The salmon and other species suffer. These sorts of worms that dig into the skin of fish do the same with humans.

This becomes even more interesting if you take into account that there are lots of ER bridges around. In a paper by Susskind, it is suggested that ER bridges are what connects entangled atoms one to another.

way of learning - from the beginning to end, and end to beginning, and from the middle and outwards.

 When I was in high school, there was a physics student that told me his way of learning. It was from the beginning to end and end to beginning and from the middle and outwards.

I have found that helpful for me in terms of method of review. I get to some place in the text where it seems to me that that I need to start review. So instead of going to the very beginning, I simply start going back page by page from where I am holding.  But I keep the place where I left off by some kind of place marker so that when I get to the beginning I can pick up again at that place.

Not speaking lashon hara/slander. But the equal importance of warning the public

 I can see the importance of not speaking lashon hara/slander but I think that this emphasis tends to diminish the equal importance of warning the public or individuals about dangerous friends or groups. There must be many more sources for this but the two that I recall off hand are Kamtza and Bar Kamtza by which the Second Temple was destroyed. Not so much for some individual transgression but the fact that no one objected. Also the events surrounding the concubine at Giva. It is not at all that some people in that one city had killed the concubine, but rather that no one in that city nor in the entire tribe of Binyamin objected.

See sefer hamidot [of Rav Nahman] the section on embarrassment. he brings there a statement from the sages that it is permissible to embarrass the religious authorities that make money off of the Torah [and what religious authorities don't?], and one must not stand before them, and the clothing they wear is like a saddle on a donkey. So we see that sometimes one must object. Certainly the Gra and Rav Shach objected to great evil, even though it is clear that no one paid any attention to what they were saying until this very day.
