Freedom From Fear
Our most recent video on The 10 Commandments is on #7, לא תנאף Don’t Have Sex With Someone You Shouldn't.
It seems simple but it aint. By video length it’s been beat only by #5 and the ADVANCED version of #6.
Both are available free for all mankind in “The 10 Commandments Playlist” here:

YouTube has been shadowbanning my videos to the netherworld so it's unlikely you’ve seen it, even if you're a subscriber.

So, shadowbanning being what it is, this video (on SEX of all things!) has only 46 views — but 8 thumbs 👍! Which has got to be some kind of record for a shaddowbanned YouTube video.
Even better, we got two great comments.
One was a statement of appreciation for me and I don't like sharing compliments but it's worth mentioning because such compliments and shows of appreciation are worth more than you might realize in convincing me that יש שכר לפעולתך, that there is a point to my work so I shouldn't give up.
The other nice comment up so far is the following:
That's good! 99.9999% of children are "domesticated" via fear and subservience (because we adults who raise them tend to be imperfect ourselves) but nearly everyone can grow out of it.
And nearly none of us do.
Society is a whole is Fear Based.
Morality is a burden. It is what you are told (and tell others) that you MUST DO or else you are "A BAD PERSON". And if that isn't enough then there's the threat of Forever Shame on the Internet (unless you have the 💰💰💰 to get it removed of course). And then there's disapproval, jail, and loss of various human rights, etc.
Frankly it's grotesque, an enslavement, and a desecration of the very FIRST of The 10 Commandments.
If it aint good for ya, you shouldn't do it.
"But won't everyone just rape and eat everybody else in that scenario?"
Yes. If the socially explained reason for why people aren't raping and cannibalizing each other today is out of fear then of course if you simply remove that fear that's what you're going to get.
How messed up is that?
Here's how messed up it is.
95% of the internet squad who spend their days raging about how this or that demographic, real or imagined, needs to be tortured forever, are people who believe that they themselves would engage in such behaviors were it not for the threat of such punishments.
Many people believe that they themselves are BY NATURE anti-social animals who are only kept in place because they have the right parents, environment, schooling, money, or religion.
They are wrong.
I have spent plenty of time in the middle of one desert or another with people who are ready to kill and in many instances HAVE killed, and the number of fellas who actually gave the thing a go is less than 5…
