Your reference to Haredi society from 2021
In a column on solipsism from 2021, you wrote:
It seems to me that in a significant part of the Haredi world (especially the Lithuanian one) the solipsistic approach is prevalent… An Haredi person is generally unwilling to jeopardize his spirituality or that of his children, for example by sending them to educational institutions where children who, in his view, are in a poorer spiritual state also study, since his mission is first and foremost to take care of his own spiritual state and that of the circles close to him, even if the price is harm to the spiritual state of the rest of the world. Therefore, he is also generally unwilling to hold meetings with other populations and refrains from contributing to society through military service, employment, and education, since this threatens his own spiritual state.
Your wording sounds very softened in relation to ultra-Orthodox society, certainly in relation to your later texts.
It gives the impression that the ideological duality behind the concept of Haredi isolation, for educational reasons, etc., is analyzed in an almost apologetic manner, or more accurately, as a type of ideological justification in which the Haredi (with the exception of the army and work) are the other side of the coin in everything related to globalism versus solfeggio.
Have you recovered since then?
Did I misunderstand the spirit of the matter when I read it?
