The REAL Reason Rabbi Brand Doesn’t Convince Anyone About Legal Fictions
This is painful to say.
Those who read Hyehudi’s e-book will recognize the type of point I make here.
How do you convince someone they already know whatever it is?
How do you walk someone into a view they already hold?
How do you explain to a good, scholarly Jew what even a Goy knows (1:13 here), what even an Am Haaretz gets, what even a Tzeduki admits (דבר שהצדוקים מודים בו)?
How do you call their bluff? How to move someone into admitting what they knowingly deny?
How do you show what people have a vested interest to unsee?
How do you answer “answers”?
How do you talk to someone who gets nervous and\or angry the more sense you make?
How do you uncover what they themselves realize is better concealed?
How do you expose what they suppress in their own heart?
How do you keep living?
