    "Don't relate to a spouse like you relate to a car"

    But....I know many (mostly) men who live their car, who want to know all about their car !

    Hashem went from infinite to finite

    But....real infinity includes every ability including the ability to create finite beings

    Good communication requires putting yourself

    In the other's shoes. This is true for a person of superior intelligence or ability lowering himself to the level of the listener or student.  Einstein teaches high school. 

    But, how does the less intelligent or capable person wants to communicate to a person of higher intelligence? By definition he isn't capable of putting himself in the other's shoes or mind because he cannot fathom the level, the intelligence or ability of the other.

    If all 71 members of the Sanhedrin vote guilty

    Even in a capital case then the accused is acquited and goes free.  Why? The case was obviously not debated and argued enough.

    So too, when it appears the whole world tells you you are wrong, guilty, obligated, etc., then you aren't!

    It takes 40 years to understand what one learnt

    Ergo, any teacher under 40 does not understand anything he tries to teach. And a 50 year old only now understands what he learnt when he was 10!

    With Hashem and creation He not speaks but

    Also creates the students. The closest we get to this is an engineer who fashions a computer and programs it. Moreso a computer with artificial intelligence.

    Paradox of differentiation and interdependence

    There is no paradox.  Precisely because there is such differentiation (e.g. one fetal cell subdivide into many different body parts) is there post'differentiation interdependence.  One cell is one cell. Period. One cell needs no other cell. 

    But the various limbs of a body that came from one undivided cell certainly need each other to function.
