I don’t recall reading that the original golden calf danced or pranced. It makes more sense that a golden figurine would just sit there.

How susceptible people are to the prince of this world ...Satan/Dragon/Devil/worldliness.
Again and again people “are enticed by their own desires.”
James 1:14.ASB
“14. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.”

The absence of inspiring religious leadership, the inability to formulate a positive vision for the people, the influences of a secular world that has turned all basic human values on its face, the revival of pagan ideas and lifestyles of the ancient world in the guise of new liberal ideas and permissive values, all combine in our time to allow the Golden Calf to still exist within us. The failures of assimilation, secularism, and Westernization at all costs, are all visible to all of us. Yet, we are all reluctant to abandon the allure of the shine of the Golden Calf.
Only when we will have our fill of these false hopes and retrograde ideas will we be free to accept Moses' dramatic act of destroying the Golden Calf to dust and powder. Perhaps then will our bill for the original Golden Calf be finally stamped as being paid in full.
Yikes...nails it.
Explains voting behaviors as well.
I've wondered how Jews vote so loyally democratic, only to find their elected officials anti-Israel, if not anti-Semitic, only to keep voting the same way...

Of course, this incident is the ultimate proof of the allowance for free will in human affairs, even for the most destructive form of free will Let's see "There is none that does Good"... "There is none that seeks for God". If that is the default state of man, where exactly does free will then exist? It exists between the state of sin and the state of iniquity.
