The World of Torah in Religious Zionism

I wanted to hear from the rabbi what he thinks about the state of the Torah world in religious Zionism?
Personally, I do not believe that true creativity can emerge from the intellectual and social ghetto that exists in the Haredi community – except for individuals who do not subject themselves to frameworks. In practice, despite the enormous number of yeshiva and kollel students, there is no significant original creativity, certainly not compared to the period 60-70 years ago, when Torah students were very few, but many created important and original works – such as the Chazon Ish, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman, Rabbi Ovadia, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, and many more.
Despite this, the state of the religious Zionist Torah world is not encouraging. Few continue to study for years, and prolonged study is mostly intended for education, not for ‘research’ – something that affects the identity and abilities of those who remain to study. In addition, many places are geared towards studying Halacha for exams. Most of the older kollels in religious Zionism are Dayanut kollels, not Iyun kollels. In the younger generation – in most yeshivots, the focus is not clearly academic.
More broadly, in my opinion, the motivation for studying in Haredi yeshivot is self-realization – to become a great Torah scholar, whereas in religious Zionism the motivation is righteousness. And this is part of the problem, self-realization is a much stronger force for ordinary people, and much more suited to achieving scholarly achievements.
I would love to hear your opinion.
