INTIMACY EXISTS ONLY IN ITS SCARCITY
–“Why you should NEVER make conversation with “the woman””–Rabbi Manis Friedman

“You ‘make conversation’ when you have nothing to say.”
“We have no respect for intimacy – it began in the 60s”
His implication is that intimacy must have meaning for so that we can demonstrate intimacy honestly – and if we don’t, we demonstrate it dishonestly.

FWIW: Jewish wisdom (like all non-European wisdom literature) can be filtered and the pilpul and critique of undermining or evasion of cost of the commons disambiguated from the insights that seek to preserve their social coherence. Western social coherence is MARTIAL. We are an army, we have ranks, we have duties, we gain respect for our duty to the commons (and lose it if we don’t). This allows for our hierarchy, scale, and complexity (masculine), just as Judaism, as an extended family, allows for their relative equality (feminine). And we cannot often understand each other any more than men and women do. 😉
