Mishlei 26:3 - A Rod for the Back of Fools (Part 2)

Anyway, back to our review.

Oh, so that's what I'm saying here.

So let's say like shave it.

So for example, like, you know, I'm not, I'm just totally making this up here, but like, if you saw a puzzle that had shave it, what's, what do you think of with Shavit associatively? Yeah.

Right.

So like, that's the kind of thing where like, if someone raised that possibility, I'd be like, eh, like that, that's nice.

That's like drush, you know, but you know, in poetry, like things like that can, can work.

Mesa Behema for Shavit.

Yeah.

Okay.

Four, what is the relationship between the two mashalim in the first half? Are they identical or two completely different mashalim or two facets of the same mashal? Can we make inferences from the previous psukim for this question? Regardless, how do they relate to the nimshal given the fact that you're not using the kselim in the same way you're using these animals? So we think.

Okay.

Uh, five, why are you hitting a seal? What is this meant to accomplish? What can we infer about Mirza's overall stance on corporal punishment as opposed to other methods of Musser? To what extent is this? Similarly, where does positive reinforcement fit in? Is this meant to be contemplated here or is that a completely different topic? Six, who is doing the striking of the seal? It doesn't matter.

Seven, who is it talking to the seal, the one disciplining him or someone else? Eight, what's the relationship between this POSC and the larger cluster that we are going, at least now in, possibly earlier, about Xelium? The next POSC can deal with Xelium.

First POSC also did, but not the previous one.

What do we make of that? What is the cluster? And then nine, what's the definition of Xelium in this context? Okay, so we had approaches yesterday, and then people sent in approaches.

Okay.

So Isaac was talking about harnessing the seal to get him to do what you want.

And it's using an intentionally disparaging association of just like you have to drive an animal, you got to drive a seal.

Right.

And you're not relating to him in a more human way.

And it also, Isaac was saying, it's not giving you a context for why you need to utilize him.

It's just telling you the method.

Okay.

Which I think is a, is a, is an acceptable idea.
