Kosher and rulings

Hello Rabbi. I have 2 questions.
A. Is kashrut in the noumena or in the phenomenon? It is a sin to be ignorant of the heart and other mysticisms. The rabbi dealt with the subject, but I do not remember if there was a clear conclusion.
B. According to the Rabbi’s mishna that every person who is a bar-hi must reach halachic conclusions on his own and not rely solely on his predecessors in one mathematical form or another, whether and how can a person know that he has reached bar-hi? Is it a kind of “when you grow up you will understand” or “when you reach maturity you will know” or can definitions be given. After all, these are things that can lead to halachic and practical errors.
Thank you very much.

The Kantian formulation does not seem accurate to me here. But to your question, in my opinion there is no real basis for such mystical assertions. Chazal did indeed demand this from “Venitamtham Bem”, but I am not sure that the sermon is correct. Their halakhic assertions are binding, but they are not necessarily factually correct. Agan, he himself can sense whether he is the best. I once gave this a criterion: If you return to an issue after a few years and usually reach the same results, then you are the best. That is, you yourself have crystallized. The fear of making mistakes is always there, even if you trust other children, no matter how great they are. My argument is that there is value in autonomy, and it outweighs the fear of making mistakes (when you are a child of the child).

Thanks to the rabbi for the answer.
In the first question, I may have meant something else (perhaps the term is not well-worn) – for example, when there is a prohibition on pork, is the prohibition on the pork itself, regardless of the circumstances in which you ate it, and then even if you were forced or by mistake, it is the same as if you fornicated (of course you will not be punished to the same extent, but we have been given a mina for heart numbness and other vegetables), or is the pork itself a charming animal and no different from other kosher animals and does not cause heart numbness (maybe at most clogging the arteries) and only the prohibition of the Torah or the Sages causes heart numbness?
I am also not sure if there is a real heart numbness, but it is still interesting as a question
I remember the rabbi dealing with this and I am not sure if it remains open or if there was a conclusion

It's the same question. If stupidity of the heart doesn't exist, then if you ate with permission, why would you have stupidity of the heart? You have no offense and you have no punishment. So what's left? If stupidity of the heart exists, then there is room to ask what happens accidentally or in rape.
I dealt with this in my opinion on citric acid on Passover: https://mikyab.net/%D7%9B%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%94%D7%A0%D7%96%D7%A7-%D7%91%D7%90%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%9C% D7%AA-%D7%97%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%A6%D7%AA-%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%9F-%D7 %91%D7%A4%D7%A1%D7%97-%D7%91%D7%9C%D7%99-%D7%99%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%94/
