The RDL Podcast with Rabbi Daniel Lapin

Mass hysteria is a real thing. Large numbers of people, maybe an entire society swept away by an emotional avalanche. Covid, masks, climate change, overpopulation, evil Russia must be stopped, and many more examples. The French Revolution was mass hysteria and so were the preschool sex abuse cases in the 1980s in California and Massachusetts. The fear that artificial intelligence will get sophisticated enough to overpower humans and enslave us is nothing but mass hysteria. Smart (but not wise) people are calling artificial intelligence the greatest threat to humanity. Why do religious people often enjoy an advantage when confronting challenging events like marriage, starting a business, or bringing a child into the world. How to filter the words of so-called experts. Why you do not need a degree in economics to know when a politician is spouting fiscal feces. Becoming a Happy Warrior. What we can learn from the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.

“You can never be too rich or too thin” claimed U.S. fashion magazine “Harper’s Bazaar” in 1963. The aphorism may be witty but it certainly isn’t true. If one’s finances have been won by ruining every other aspect of your life, the other four Fs, Family, Fitness, Friendship and Faith, then maybe you are too rich. And regarding being thin, of course one can be too thin for good health. But how do we lose weight? Many of us are dragging around a few extra kilograms. Yes, I know, eat less and exercise more. But eating feels good, that’s all there is to it. And exercise is hard. But wait! ancient Jewish wisdom offers the solution. You know how you stop eating when your brain receives the “Stop-I am full” signal? What if you could get your brain to receive that signal before your fourth helping of Crème Brule. Why do we have one long gastro-intestinal tract with mouths for eating and speaking at one end, and at the other end, the orifice for defecation? Want to see the digital library pack? Click here https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/digital-download-library-pack/  Passover coming up very soon.

All Happy Warriors know when they are mistakenly BEHAVING on emotions and feelings. In this show we learn how to know when we are THINKING on emotions and feelings. Just as fire can build and destroy, male-female relationships can build a strong family-based society and they can also destroy society through casual encounters that cause jealousies and aggressions. Polygamy is widely practiced in modern western society but it is the more destructive form of polygamy. What is being a man? Why virtue and virility come from the same Latin root. How GICs turn boys into either thugs or wimps. Both are equally destructive. Men want to marry. Thugs steal physical sensation. Wimps yearn impotently. Men own possessions and want to protect them. Thugs steal possessions and destroy them. Wimps want the freedom of owning nothing. Discover the Biblical blueprint for male-female relationships here: https://rabbidaniellapin.com/?s=madam Madam I’m Adam: Decoding The Marriage Secrets From Eden. The most fantastic family strategy is developing a family narrative. The value of manners, how girls should demand them and how men will grow through them.

Tension between erotic pleasure and reproduction in marital intimacy. If it is only about erotic pleasure, then reproduction must be thwarted. If it is only about reproduction, then why the pleasure? We used to think of doctors who sterilize young women as war criminals. Today, it is perfectly natural and perfectly normal. Enjoy the pleasure of baking and eating special Sabbath bread called Challah.  https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/the-art-of-making-challah/    The only thing better than the smell of freshly baked bread permeating your house, is its taste.

The astonishing events that occurred when the communist Sandanistas put 500 deaf Nicaraguan children in one special school in Managua. No, Agatha, I am sorry but Koko the gorilla could not speak. And Fred, I am sorry but Kanzi the chimpanzee did not ever speak either. Do how did humans acquire the miracle of speech if it is not found in monkeys, racehorses, or dolphins? Oh yes, they certainly communicate, as do bees. But that is quite different from describing abstract ideas with sounds. Humans use language to discuss monkeys, dolphins, and everything else on our planet. No creature uses language to discuss humans.

Who are our friends? Here’s a bigger question: What is a boyfriend or a girlfriend? Is there such a thing as casual s*x for women? Watch out for men who have repeatedly broken girls’ hearts and watch out for girls who have repeatedly had their hearts broken by men; they’re dangerous. Why do earthquakes in non-western countries seem to kill more people than similar events in western countries? If human nature can change, then Shakespeare, Balzac, and Dostoevsky are obsolete. Comment and connect with other Happy Warriors and also access much ancient Jewish wisdom at your convenience.
