I was taught that when Ive made a mistake, I need to take action to make things right, not get paid to do interviews about it.

First, if I had realized what I had done was wrong, I would have gone straight to the lab and pulled all the wires out of the thing, and destroyed the plans. He didnt.

Or...I would have been in Japan after the war ended, trying to help those who are still getting cancer from the mess I helped create. He didnt. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7917541)

Richard Feynman on helping the Manhattan Project

The_Ham says...

The only "sock puppets" I see here are those who resort to name calling (instead of rational arguments) to defend this millionaire rockstar physicist.

He carried on banging hot chicks and writing best-selling books long after he murdered those people. Obviously that guilt really put a cramp in his style.

>> ^The_Ham:
I dont like how smug he is about murdering 246,000 people.

246,000 people.

>> ^criticalthud:

i'm not sure any of them really knew the implications of what they were doing. Dropping that bomb was also very much about the future war between capitalism and communism...between two schools of economic dominance. At the time, Soviet divisions in Europe outnumbered American by a staggering amount.



Government: Dr. Feynman, we're going to need you to make a huge bomb.

Feynman: I wonder what the implications of making this huge bomb are? Oh well, der de derrrrr.

Richard Feynman on helping the Manhattan Project

The_Ham says...

see 4:45

Any interview that features laughing, while waxing philosophic from your comfortable chair in Berkeley, CA, detailing how you made a device to murder people qualifies as smug in my book.

One could argue he thought he was making the device "just to scare the enemy" with thoughts of being murdered, but I dont buy that one of the smartest guys alive at the time had no concept of what he was doing.

Re: ^ Laura

Yes, it seems excessive and it would be criminal/malpractice in the USA.

However, "Most things they end up taking the tonsils out for can be cured with antibiotics" is entirely false (not to mention dangerous to claim)

Rep. Grayson Introduces Bill to Allow Anyone to Buy Medicare

This grayson guy is awesome. Im sure he is going to run for president (though prob not in the next election). He just may win if the insurance companies keep up their bullshit and Barack Oblahblah keeps reneging on his campaign promises.
