“And why isn’t Torah enough? Because “if it is empty, it is from you,” chazal say if one finds torah deficient, it is because he is the empty one. He isn’t giving Torah enough dedication and effort, so he turns to things which are easier, like science and literature, and then fools himself into thinking he’s bigger than talmidei chachamim.”
Explained well. He also feels the sciences, literature and mythology bring something to the table the Torah does not. Soon after, “the Torahs response” to his fundamental questions are secondary and debatable- because now he is “enlightened”
He is now smarter than all of chazal
