@teo_audio -
Feynman was and will remain, my favorite lecturer (yeah: I'm that old).
He mentioned often (and: I took to heart) his favorite Rule of Life: "Never stop learning!"
For all his genius, he never grew overconfident, in his beliefs. The perfect obverse to the Dunning-Kruger sufferer.
ie: “I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.”
and: “I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything.”
Tesla is probably my favorite innovator, who (despite the incessant, projectile vomit, from his day's naysayers), took the World, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, with his inventions.
His thoughts:
“Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.”
“All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed, only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”
NO: I was never an MC fanboy, BUT: he DID experiment, trust and believe his own ears and capacity to discern reality, then: share his conclusions, which makes him a loss to this site, in my opinion.
iow (like it or not): I couldn't agree with you more!
ie: "I wonder if he will allow the discussion of unfounded conspiracy theories on his website?
I dearly hope so.
It’s the only difference between the intelligent and the dense. Thinking openly vs the dogmatic mind of the herd machine.
eg, all of physics is a ’conspiracy.’" ...etc = +1
