If you want to appreciate Feynman's science, read James Gleick's book Genius. There you'll discover there was nothing sham about his science. This video is extraordinarily shallow.

I can’t believe the first physicist to work on the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise would lie like this

@htilden42 1 year ago

I was honestly expecting the final twist to be that Richard Feynman never actually existed and was just the result of authors quoting each other.

"Feynman was super good with the ladies" said Richard Feynman, surely the most trustworthy source on the matter

I used to think Richard Feynman was the Socrates of physics. But it turns out he was the Socrates of physics.

my favorite part was when feynman said "oppa physics style!" and everyone on the bus clapped

EDIT: I am now significantly further in the video, i must amend my comment;

So that was a rollercoaster. You made me hate the man, love the man, hate him again and in the end accept that people are very complex. Especially historical figures. And for some reason, it's a very hard fact to accept for almost everyone. It's very unusual to see you being so objective, even though your personal opinions are quite clear. It's really impressive, thank you for this masterpiece, it's a great work.

I feel smarter knowing I've read every book written by Richard Feynman

Thank God for Richard Feynman. He saved my life as a child. Pulled me out of a river, I just had to solve a brief physics problem first. The other kids couldnt do it though.

After this year of research on Richard Feynman, you should consider writing a book by him.

"I don't need to make fun of you, you've done it yourself" is stone cold. I'm gonna use that one.

"I declared a reading goal. I am going to read every single book Richard Feynman has ever written. And, I achieved that goal immediately. Because, Richard Feynman had never written a book." fucking legend lmaooo

“I started out trying to understand this person on a simple level… now I’m here how did I get here?!” — a demonstration of what, in music, we might call “The Tallerico Effect.”

I am not a scientist at all, but I am fascinated by the widespread effects of one man's problematic personality. It is a sobering reminder that everyone is vulnerable to bad role models.

After he was hand-picked by Miyamoto to work on Sonic, he convinced the whole team that he spoke fluent Japanese for the 2 years of development by making vaguely Asian noises and squinting.

Lol those "pretending to speak foreign languages and actually fooling the natives" stories reek so much of "how difficult can languages be if they aren't studied in STEM departments?"
