What is he saying?
Peace and blessings, Your Honor.
Because I am not wise at all and do not have the intellect and wisdom to delve into and understand all the evidence and proofs, etc., in matters of faith and the branching (including obedience to God, the Jewish religion), then we do as we do in any matter in which a person has no knowledge, and we use the ‘faith of the wise’ (such as in matters of healing that I have no understanding of, the correct way is to believe in the healer in his wisdom and knowledge).
So when I come to assert my faith, the only way is through the Nahl, and according to this I have no reason to believe (and its consequences – to live and behave as a Jew), because the scales of the sages are not heavy and weigh on the side of the sages of Israel!
And I’m curious if Maran Shlita has any comments on this (or is this the real path I have to choose, and if not, what should I do?)
PS: Sorry for the language barrier (this is also a result of my stupidity)

Okay. But after all, what am I going to do when I'm not good at it - it's just impossible?
Get over it and decide for yourself.
There is nothing to overcome, it is impossible! (Not every simple person (like me) has the intelligence for this, is that not understandable?)
If so, you are exempt from all fool's judgment.
Well, thanks for the permission. No one will invite guests to a pork dinner!
You are like Rabbi Yehoshua ben Perachiah who rejected Yeshua (see Sanhedrin 17) [Not that you are Rabbi B.P., and the grave is not like Jesus H.W., but you need to learn from there not to reject the disciples who want to know and believe, apparently this is a real problem for him] Thank you
To the questioner
If you have trust in certain people and their wisdom, you are allowed (and should) follow them in these matters as well, if you feel that things are beyond your current theoretical ability. And only on condition that you feel that they are willing to take responsibility for you (which Rabbi Michi refuses to do, and not unjustly). Like a child who gives trust to adults who have no other way to live without it. When you grow up - and this will come with time – your sense of criticism will develop and then you will slowly be able to deal with the issues yourself
What did you mean by being careful to write "and not unjustly" and not "and justly"? Although I am not avoiding, God forbid, not objecting to double negations.
