Hello, Your Honor, I apologize in advance for the number of questions.
I saw on an old podcast that you said that a modern person is someone who believes in the fags that society developed and grew out of, just as a person a thousand years ago who believes in fags is called modern. I ask, as far as I understand, a modern person is someone who accepts modernity and its values. Am I wrong?
2) And I heard on another podcast that you did that you said that there are no conservatives in academia because they think conservatives are either stupid or evil. Can I come up with another theory in the psychology of personality in the five-division model? Someone who is conservative tends to have a personality of conscientiousness and someone who is liberal tends to have a personality of openness to experiences, and in this they are more analytical, creative and intelligent. I think this could be a stronger explanation (and since the left is dominant in academia, this is all over the world) and I recommend that the rabbi read a book by Thomas Sowell called Intellectuals and Society
3) I heard the rabbi say that you accuse the secularists of religious coercion because why do they vote for politicians who let this happen, and I had a hard time understanding what the rabbi wants them to do, since it’s quite difficult to start a new party and pass this high threshold.
4) Is the randomness in evolution pseudo-randomness (which is just a computational difficulty) or is it completely random? And why does the Rabbi continue to argue the physico-theological evidence (from complexity) if the Rabbi said it fell apart?
5) I was thinking about the argument for the existence of God, can the Rabbi test it? If our nature is deterministic (at least in the main) and we have an indication that every deterministic system has a creator, then the universe probably has a creator.
6) What does the rabbi propose to create a renaissance for Orthodoxy in general and for the Horids in particular, who would think critically and freely, who would pursue advanced degrees, who would be successful entrepreneurs in the economy, who would participate in creating literature and art, etc.
And another of the strongest arguments against religion today is utilitarianism, that Haredi society is neglected, uneducated, poor, etc. I know that this attack is aimed at the Haredi, but even religious people are not on an equal footing with secular people (I know that you can say that just because it’s bad doesn’t mean it’s not true).
7) What does the rabbi think about Conservative Judaism, what they are right and what they are wrong about (their attribution of life and productivity to economics and less dogmatism are much better than Orthodoxy)
I am a Haredi guy who only knows a little algebra and a little geometry. What can the rabbi recommend to me on how to start learning math and logic from scratch?

Please raise each question separately. It is impossible to discuss this. Also, please make sure to use clearer wording.
