  A married couple are 2 halves of soul

  Destined for each other. Were together before they were born. Divorce is not an option. Etc.

  Yet, YY is on record in a video with hundreds of thousands of views repeating a modern new mantra: "she wants a gett, you give a gett", i.e. gett on unilateral demand, which is not the halacha but nonjewish modern thinking

  The king is disqualified from deciding

  A leap year because he pays soldiers annually and wants an extra month.

  If so, all soldiers or potential recruits should also be disqualified because of the opposite,  namely they would have to serve an extra month for their annual pay.

  If bias can be so subtle, almost everyone can be disqualified

  Question for Rabbi YY

  According to what you explained then there seems to be no issue to learn any חכמה חיצונית because its all possible to learn
  from a place of pnimius. So why do we make a distiction bettween torah learning and other wisdoms?

  And why do we say the the soul in the body is only a mashel to godliness, isnt that itself something important to contemplate upon?

    Perhaps there is a distinction between Torah learning and secular study in that the former is a mitzvah itself while the latter only has permission.

    See Tanya chapter 8. And on a deeper level see the second maamar in torah or tetzaveh.
