Episode notes
Mentor’s Buchenwald Memories
- Peter recounts his mentor's Buchenwald internment and realistic wartime violence details.
- The mentor emphasized brutal practical tactics rather than cinematic clearing-room scenes.

- Population averages show men and women often want different things, so a single template for a 'good life' misleads.
- Individual variation matters more than one-size-fits-all prescriptions.

- Social and cultural shifts can push people into roles that don't actually increase happiness.
- The equality push sometimes copied male career patterns without asking if those patterns made lives better.
