What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

how much love should there be in figuring out whether you're supposed to marry somebody and and can you really have love with someone if you have all kinds of conditions or needs that are you know all about you you know for example like most people most people really just love people because of what they do for them so so that's beyond even conditional love it's it's a it's about love that's that's that's really all about themselves you know these are interesting questions and and I'm going to tackle them with uh God's help and what's funny about me just randomly talking about love is I was once listening to Jordan Peterson and he was dealing with I don't know maybe someone sent in a question or someone asked a question about about love and he he took his genius brain which is what he often does takes a problem and then just throws his genius brain at the problem and usually just you hear this poetry come out of him of how he solves the thing or explains it away or like you know like gets you so much Clarity on whatever topic it could be so it turned out that there was one very painful video of him talking about love it goes on for about 45 minutes and I I couldn't breathe the whole time because he was getting he was getting absolutely nowhere the whole time and I was shocked because just for various reasons because he's even though he's a big academic and he's very intellectual
