“I’ve mentioned this many times before. Rav JBS himself wrote that the more one can distance himself from secular culture the better he is for it.”
…please provide the source for that assertion.
I haven’t seen this, myself, but I have seen such a thought quoted from “The Rav Speaks: Five addresses by Rabbi J.B. Soloveichik” pg.27-29.
It’s quoted in “Tradition vs. traditionalism: contemporary perspectives in Jewish thought” by Abraham Sagi, on page 39 (excerpts available on Google Books).
