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

0:06.1

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

0:14.0

I'm Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and I am fueled by a deep desire to reveal how the world really works.

0:28.2

I'm propelled by a passion to clarify that the more that things change, the more we must depend on those things that never change.

0:41.0

And who better than your rabbi to pull out and lay out on the table in front of us the things that do not change?

0:51.8

Now, in order to get this show going and to clarify what it is we're going to be

0:59.9

looking at, I'm going to start off with something very basic indeed. And that is that we live in a

2:18.3

And yes, one of the basics of this show and of this discussion is that there are, in fact, two genders.

2:28.3

And I realize this obviously flies in the face of a society that has almost entirely surrendered to a spasm of superstition on this topic,

2:40.9

with an entire range of choice of gender.

2:45.2

But that's not really how the world works.

2:49.7

And not surprisingly, the entire digital revolution hinges again on this duality, does it not?

2:59.2

In other words, a switch is either on or off.
