In watching a bunch of Feynman video’s over the last few month’s, I’m really taken with how pleasantly down to earth he is. I’m not sure what I expected but you can certainly surmise he has a strong work ethic combined with a high level of practicality and thoroughness. People like that do miss much when they’re working on stuff……
Interesting, Feynman "only" had an IQ of 125. Even though IQ is a valid predictor of life's success on a statistical level, the individual variance in IQ across all societies domains is huge.
That's classic Feynman trolling. Feyman wasn't the type of person who would have seen much utility in the IQ, much less taken the test himself. If ever actually purported to disclose his IQ score (which in itself is a strange thing to do,) it would have been to confound naive people such as yourself who finds comfort in these little boxes
Depends on if it's aimed my direction or not. When it's not aimed my direction however, there's nothing BETTER than one. I need amusement too after all.
From what I've read of Feynman, he is likely to prank the aliens.
Deutsch's "boss", John Wheeler, was Feynman's thesis advisor at Princeton. It seems the student had become the teacher.

Freeman Dyson, who wasn't exactly chopped liver himself, said a similar thing about Feynman
Feyman was intuition > analysis
Yeah, but he built up his intuition, and then backed it up, with lots and lots of analysis.
One of my favourite genuine big 🧠 stories ❤
Great video. Exactly the clip I was looking for. Why’d you stop posting? Plenty of content out there, gotta be persistent.

I wouldn’t use that 125 number as a valid score for Feynman , if it means anything at all that number is obviously a false positive

Nobel prize = pauper ?
There's nothing worse than a smart alec.
