Retreat from the Tree of Knowledge?

שו”תCategory: philosophyRetreat from the Tree of Knowledge?
asked 6 years ago

Hello Rabbi
I noticed something interesting and wanted to hear what the rabbi thinks about its validity, and if the rabbi agrees with him, perhaps an explanation on the matter. And for our purposes – we see in recent chapters of history phenomena that can be called a human retreat from the conclusions of the Tree of Knowledge: 1- Less feeling of problem in nudity and less need for fig leaves 2- With postmodernism, man’s sense of “knowing good and evil” has diminished, and he no longer claims to be like God in this matter,
At the same time, we see a weakening trend in curses as well – less in sorrow, you will give birth to sons (epidural, etc.), less and he will rule over you, and much less in the sweat of your brow you will eat bread.
I would be grateful if you could shed some light on this matter.

Hello. It sounds like a demand to me (admittedly a nice one), but nothing more than that (see column 285). And as you point out, I could also make a demand the other way around. In postmodernism there is definitely a sense of knowing good and evil. Only the wording is different. It’s a facade. If you still want an explanation, perhaps the prevention of pain and suffering is what creates a sense of ease in people that allows them to change norms and go naked. They have nothing else to worry about. In the era of Corona, people are less likely to go naked and fight for their right to do so (even monitoring phones is reasonably acceptable in such a situation).
