I watched this interview years ago. Then i red his books. And he became my science hero. Not because his uniform, title, not even because of his work. First, because he was so happy curious about everything. That passion when he spoke about physics was amazing and to me it was contagious. Second, because he was an amazing teacher and science propagator. He knew how and when to simplify an example. He also knew when to stop and say: i'm unable to explain those things to you, because i would have to use so complicated math, it would be pointless (that piece when journalist asked about magnets and why they repell/atract).

@dereklong2072 2 ай бұрын

He was the best type of teacher. He refused to hold authority over other humans just because he knew more. He was passionate about the knowledge itself and wanted to share it with the world. He wanted us all to share the same excitement. And I do, listening to him. He was along for the ride just like the rest of us. All of us looking for patterns and connections and seeking to understand the beauty of the universe we exist in.

Why was she so special to have thousands of people watching her?

It seemed like they had it on because they felt they HAD TO watch it. There is no way they were actually interested in it. I made some jokes about how the broadcast was going to give me a seizure because of all the camera flashes going on.

I know you are going to bombard me about earning a living. I have views on that too but that is a different subject. The video above shows the royal wedding. This whole patronage system that is maintained in UK needs serious reform but also a subject for another time. We are too full of this wanting status. Though my life experience I have found that self worth is far more important. I personally do not care what other people think of me not do I strive to be in circles of people that others crave after. I always sailed my own course in life and never followed the crowds that others followed.

We need some constant guidance to find our way forward in the environment we happen to inhabit. As long as that guidance is steering us toward a better humanity, I think it's the best guidance we can have. Thank science for the Internet, because without it, these sources of inspiration would have probably never met a lot of us.

Any person may simply have had the right mind, the right mindset, and the right stimuli to come up with work which is apparently worthy of award... when, given any lack of the formative experiences which resulted in said work, they would not have made such an achievement.

Feynman was a notable and accomplished physicist. That didn't make him an authority in any other field. He was not more qualified than anyone else to make observations on society, politics or institutions. In fact he demonstrates a very simplistic and naive understanding of the affairs of state. But, he was a great physicist.

So, to award individuals for their work is nonsense, because they are not solely responsible. It's very complex, but if any one single entity can take responsibility, it's Human Society.

To play a little devil's advocate, why should we spurn the idea of "honors" simply because Feynman said so? Is that not a sort of argument from authority? Or is argument from ... intellectual authority ... ok? b/c he's so smart and wise? He himself said he doesn't know why @3:03 it bothers him, so we are left with little more than "because he [Feynman and/or his father] said so" as a reason. I have a lot of respect for him and am nowhere near as smart ... I trust his wisdom and while this video resonates with me on a gut level, in an attempt to perhaps account for my own confirmation bias, I pose the above question to you all. If anything, shouldn't it be a healthy balance of the two that motivates us (classic Buddhist ideal of the middle road, perhaps?)? k thanks in advance for reading and potentially replying.

@josephmarhee1918 4 жыл бұрын

I like to think Feynman's commentary here (not in the context of this video, which I feel misses the point somewhat) actually agrees with your conclusions-- he's speaking to his personal experience with honors and titles, but they can, otherwise, be validating in ways, perhaps, he didn't require to be validated in, but his main point seems to be that one should remain critical of this type of thinking, arguments from authority for something, or against something, or because tradition implies a constant where none exists.

@cavalrycome 3 жыл бұрын

He does offer some arguments. He draws attention to the way a uniform or a title elicits respect even when the bearer hasn't done anything to deserve that respect. By overlaying Feynman's comments with images of the royals, the person who made this video has, in my view, made a correct generalization of this point. As to whether a Nobel prize is the sort of honor that is deserving, he doesn't offer much of an argument except to point out that it's merely a decision by a particular small committee. We could fill in the missing parts of that argument by pointing out that there isn't a great justification for believing that each of these prize committees has the capacity to really judge who is most deserving in each field. Many of the peace and literature prizes in particular have drawn a great deal of scorn. Physics has been less controversial, but he makes a broader point that there is something misplaced about doing something for the recognition rather than for its own sake, and you have to do a bit of work to fill in the parts left out of that argument too.
