The archetype of the "boy who never grows up"—psychologically termed the
puer aeternus (Latin for "eternal boy")—is an ancient concept that long predates both Peer Gynt and Peter Pan and has origins in classical mythology and folklore.
Mythological Origins
The direct mythological origin of the term "puer aeternus" comes from the Roman poet Ovid's epic, Metamorphoses, written around 8 AD..
In the poem, Ovid uses the phrase to address the child-god Iacchus, who was a figure in the Eleusinian Mysteries (secret religious rites of ancient Greece). Iacchus was later identified with other gods of divine youth, vegetation, death, and resurrection, such as:

Dionysus/Bacchus (Greek/Roman god of wine, ecstasy, and abandon, who is often depicted as youthful and uninhibited).
Eros (Greek god of love and desire, often portrayed as a perpetually young figure).
Tammuz, Attis, and Adonis (Vegetation gods from various ancient Middle Eastern mythologies whose cycles of life, death, and rebirth represent eternal youth).

The essence of these figures is that they remain eternally young, often avoiding commitment, boundaries, and the responsibilities of mature life, while valuing freedom and immediate experience above all else.
Psychological Archetype
In the 20th century, Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung adopted the term puer aeternus as an archetype in his analytical psychology.

Jung's theory: Jung proposed that this archetype is an innate pattern within the "collective unconscious" that represents the "divine child" and the potential for newness, creativity, and spiritual growth.
The shadow side: When a person becomes overly identified with this archetype (often due to an unresolved parent complex), they exhibit traits like the fear of commitment, avoidance of responsibility (leading a "provisional life"), and a retreat into fantasy to avoid the demands of reality, essentially becoming a "man-child".

Thus, while Ibsen and Barrie created definitive literary characters, the fundamental concept of a figure who embodies eternal youth and resists adulthood has been a recurring theme in human storytelling for millennia.

Standard kosher phones (especially basic "dumb" or flip phones) generally
cannot accommodate Meshtastic.
Reasons for Incompatibility

Lack of App Support: The Meshtastic platform requires an accompanying app to interact with the device. This app needs either the Android or iOS operating system. Standard "dumb" kosher phones have limited or no app functionality, typically restricted to basic features like a calculator or an alarm clock.
Missing LoRa Hardware: Meshtastic communicates using LoRa (Long Range) peer-to-peer radio frequencies, not standard cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth frequencies. Phones do not contain the dedicated internal antennas or the specific radio chipsets required for LoRa communication.
Firmware and Software Limitations: The firmware on kosher phones is often heavily altered and locked by design to prevent internet access and advanced functionality for spiritual/wellness reasons. This prevents the installation of the necessary Meshtastic firmware or app, which would require a degree of open access to the device's operating system.

Alternative Solutions for Kosher Phone Users
While you can't run Meshtastic directly on a standard kosher phone, you can still use the technology in an off-grid setup:

Dedicated Meshtastic Device Paired via Bluetooth: The most common approach is to use a separate, dedicated Meshtastic device (a "node") and connect it to an existing smartphone via Bluetooth or USB OTG. If a user has a "kosher smartphone" (a device like a modified Google Pixel running a filtered OS like KosherOS) that still retains Bluetooth connectivity and the ability to run specific, approved Android apps, they might be able to use it as the "display" for an external Meshtastic node.
All-in-One Meshtastic Devices: There are specialized, self-contained devices available that have a built-in screen and controls, functioning as a complete Meshtastic communicator without needing an external phone at all.
External Nodes/Cases: Some third-party accessories offer Magsafe or other magnetic cases that attach a separate Meshtastic radio to the back of any smartphone, connecting over Bluetooth.

Wilhelm Reich
wrote about Ibsen's Peer Gynt in his first psychoanalytic paper, noscriptd "Libidinal Conflicts and Delusions in Ibsen's Peer Gynt" (German: Über einen Fall von Durchbruch der Inzestschranke).
What, When, and Where He Wrote About It

What: The paper was an analysis of Ibsen's play, focusing on psychoanalytic themes, particularly "libido conflicts and delusions".
When: He wrote and presented this treatise in 1920, at the age of 23.
Where: He presented the paper for his membership in the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society (WPV) while a medical student at the University of Vienna. It was later published in English in his collection Early Writings (1975).

Summary of Reich's Analysis
General Points:
Reich strongly identified with the character of Peer Gynt, seeing in him a representation of the unconventional dreamer, full of energy, eager to change the world but certain to be destroyed for his daring. Reich viewed Peer as a perpetual outsider whose search for identity was diverted, making him an idler and then a fortune hunter who was not always sure whether his dreams were reality. The general theme was the destructive power of societal repression on an individual's natural, vital energy and impulses.
Specific Points:

Libidinal Conflicts: Reich analyzed Peer's actions as expressions of dammed-up sexual energy (libido), which was central to Freud's early theory of neurosis that Reich focused on.
Incest Taboo: The German noscript of his paper translates to "About a Case of Breaching the Incest Taboo," indicating a specific focus on Peer's relationship dynamics, particularly with his mother Aase and other female figures.
Character Analysis Forerunner: This early work marked the beginning of Reich's shift from analyzing individual symptoms to character structure, a major contribution to psychoanalysis that later developed into his method of character analysis.
Self-Identity vs. Societal Destruction: He saw Peer's energetic, spontaneous nature as a healthy primary drive that society (represented by figures like the "Button-Molder," who wants to melt him down for failing to be a real self) sought to suppress and destroy.

The idiom "screw the pooch" is
widely believed to originate from early 20th-century American military slang, likely evolving from the vulgar phrase "effing the dog". This phrase was a euphemism for a menial, frustrating, and pointless task, which later became "screwing the pooch" to make it sound less vulgar. The term was popularized in the late 1970s by astronaut Walter Cunningham and author Tom Wolfe in their respective works about the space program, where it was used to describe a major failure.

Early origins: The phrase "screw the pooch" is thought to have originated in the military around World War II.
Evolution of the phrase: It is likely a cleaned-up version of the phrase "effing the dog," which referred to wasting time on a pointless task.
Popularization: The term gained widespread recognition in the late 1970s through NASA astronaut Walter Cunningham's 1977 memoir, The All-American Boys, and was further popularized by Tom Wolfe in his 1979 book The Right Stuff.
Meaning: The idiom means to make a serious mistake or to mess something up badly.
