Question

Hello Rabbi,
I started listening to your lesson on simple faith. I haven’t finished it yet, but during a break an insight occurred to me.
A naive person in himself can be greatly appreciated for his devotion, innocence, and authenticity. The problem begins when it becomes an entire public. When the public becomes naive, then instead of the anarchy of the lone simpleton, who obeys not laws but his heart, it turns into a kind of dictatorship of simpletons who forbid and mock critical thinking, and persecute whoever breaks their rules (which, from their perspective, are all from Sinai). And usually they idolize some human figure almost like a god. What do you say about this analysis?
By the way, in The Wise Man and the Simpleton by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, in one of the arguments between the wise man and the simpleton, the simpleton claims that he can reach the level of the wise man, but the wise man will never reach his level. The wise man mocks him and argues the opposite: if his own intellect were taken from him, he would be at the level of the simpleton, but the simpleton could never be as wise as he is. In my humble opinion, the wise man is mistaken. The simpleton is not really crazy, as the wise man claims; there is something valuable in him. The question is how the wise man can attain what the simpleton has—authentic devotion. Do you think wise people can attain that and still remain wise?
