Summary

Why did The Donna Reed Show help marriages while The Gilmore Girls hurt them? And how did boys start reneging on the social contract to become men back during the 1960s? Until then, boys sought to grow into men who would marry and who would cherish and protect their wives. Then, in what will turn out to be history’s most remarkable case of mass arrested development, little boys grew into big boys and big boys became 40 year-old adolescents. Men surrendered their natural authority in relationships; then they renounced responsibility. So understandably, the women had to step in; for whether in politics, business, or male/female relationships, nature abhors a vacuum. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

0:06.8

This is Rabbi Daniel Abin on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.

0:13.2

Welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show.

0:16.5

Thank you so much for tuning in and being part of the show.

The show where I, your rab, I reveal how the world really works.

0:29.3

And, of course, one of the ways the world really works.

0:32.7

In fact, all the ways the world really works involve me telling you things that are entirely different

0:42.3

from the things that are being said and the things that are being written popularly out there.

0:49.3

And it is not for the purpose of being iconoclastic or shocking or politically incorrect.

0:56.2

It's simply a case of me having zero value to you if I am not telling you the truth about how the world really works.

And I was watching the erection of a tower crane on a building site recently this last week.

1:17.4

And I find those things absolutely fascinating.

1:22.1

These tower cranes, as you know, these huge, slender-looking towers that look improbably balanced against the forces of wind and weather,

1:33.1

and they have these huge jibs extending outwards, and little by little as a building rises,

1:41.2

the tower crane rises with it.

1:50.4

And there are two types of tower cranes. One is erected by means of a second crane that hoists the sections of the tower crane into place. And the other one is

1:57.5

even more interesting, and this is one I really enjoy watching, and that

2:01.1

is where the tower crane grows itself. The crane hoists up a section that is going to be the

2:10.2

next section of the tower. It looks like, I don't know, maybe 15, 20 feet long, and meanwhile, Jacks hoist up the tower until there's a gap of exactly the size

2:24.6

that will fit the new incoming piece. And voila, the tower is now 15 or 20 feet higher, and so it grows.
