I came here to post this video, because it’s really great. For anyone who cares to separate the myth from the reality: it’s worth your time. She’s honest, and realistic, without being mean or hyperbolic. (Ok, but maybe a liiiiittle sarcasm, as a treat!)
Uh-oh. As a shallow level science lover I’ve always liked and respected Feynman and how he has presented science to layfolk like myself. I’m expecting some disappointing information when I dig into this video tomorrow.
From watching the video, he’s a great and talented science communicator and a decent man (depending on if the divorce trial was mutually fabricated or real).
But he’s a mid scientist that doesn’t really deserve to have his work compared to Einstein and Newton like he often is.
He also made up a bunch of macho cool stories about himself that’s like Rick Sanchez mixed with an “Alpha Male”, and much like both it infected young guys for years to come.
I appreciate that Randall Munroe isn’t a part of the Feynman cult. Angela Collier did a great video about it a few months ago.
