The Rabbi’s acquaintance with Haredim
1- First of all, I would like to thank the rabbi for the articles and books.
2- In my opinion, the Rabbi knew a very small part of the yeshiva world, there are so many intellectuals who are knowledgeable at the highest level in all wisdom. I will mention a few of them and would like to know whether the Rabbi knew them, and if not, then why: Rabbi Yosef Schreiber, whose scholarly thought far exceeds what the Rabbi saw in Bnei Brak, Rabbi Moshe Shapira, whose intellectual-philosophical thought is at a super high level. There are many more, but for now he has settled for them. (The reason I raise this question is because it is a shame that the Rabbi, with all his knowledge and thought, misses their high level.)

My argument is that the Rabbi probably knew Bnei Brak as second-rate mediocre thinkers, whether in philosophy and thought or in learning. If the Rabbi had known the people I mentioned directly, you might have argued in a different way (for example, in your remarks about the concept of halot in halacha, where you argued among others that the yeshivahs in the world do not define it properly, but if you had listened there, you would have seen that they had advanced with the more epic definitions defined by the Rabbi).
Another correction: I did not claim that they are knowledgeable in all wisdoms, but rather that each of them is knowledgeable in their field to a super high level, and similarly, there are others who are knowledgeable and have the highest level of depth (each in his field), and it is a pity that the Rabbi does not know them.
