    This is so much of the problem with psychiatry. The psychiatrists, psychologists don't understand the reality of the situation of living with a victimizer. Especially if that victimizer is a psychopath who holds themselves to no rules of proper behaviour. There is nothing like living in a situation, being responsible for children and walking a line that feels like you are always trying to protect your own or your children's personal safety.

    Why, oh, why did he have to bring up Trump? Upper echelon educators have traditionally prided themselves on being open-minded to new ideas, new information. Anyone who calls themselves a "Never-" anything is cutting himself off from learning, growing, changing. Never-Trumpers are showing their lack of the ability to expand intellectually. There remains always the possibility to be mistaken about someone. Once you learn you were perhaps wrong you ought to be mature and mentally flexible enough to say "Okay, maybe that person isn't as bad as I thought." To give such an enlightening lecture and then conclude with an irrelevant topic like politics is somewhat disappointing.

    I had done research on Colditz as a project. I learned that the Polish could pick almost any lock. For awhile, the French and Polish more adept with escaping than the British. Eventually each country took turns. I also learned that the myth was, like in the GREAT ESCAPE, everyone wanted out which wasn't true. Some would have tried escaping daily if given the opportunity. Some were: we are lucky to be alive especially after the SHOOT TO KILL ORDER by Hitler. Some were I just want to survive and go home. It was a very eclectic group

In fact, in a liberal democracy/free-wheeling capitalism, you are free to decide whatever the Political and Corporate marketing allows you to choose from: Ŝhould I drink Coca-Cola or Pepsi-Cola, Ŝhould I vote Democrats or Republicans, Ŝhould I be Male/Female/non-binary, straiĝht, Gay (in the sexual realm, you have more variety than in the party politics arena), Ŝhould I dye my hair purple or blue? The list goes on. These so-called ĉhoices are Either Preordained, rigged or irrelevant/frivolous. The important ĉhoices occur elsewhere, done by other (powerful) people who know better……

    Terrific subject, and probably a good book. But there are glaring instances where the author exaggerates things quite a lot. For example, the flatness of LIGO mirrors is about a thousandth of a wavelength of light, which is a hundred times better than that of ordinary commercial optical components. That is really, really good and worthy of admiration, but nowhere near the absurd 38 digits after the decimal point mentioned here at 22:48. The sensitivity of LIGO, its ability to detect stretching of spacetime, is many times greater than the flatness of the mirrors, but even that is "only" about 20-22 zeros after the decimal point. The oil pipe in the Trent 900 engine burst because it was *much* thinner than it should have been. About 0.35 mm instead of 0.9 mm. The acceptable manufacturing error was 0.1 mm. One micrometer off which was mentioned here at 40:15 would not have made any difference whatsoever.
