When I first watched this Leonard Susskind talk about Richard Feynman (link and transcript below), I assumed the sentence: I actually don't think Feynman would have liked this event. was referring to that entire TED event.
I'm still not totally sure. :-)
But really Susskind was talking about the talk he had just given.. the general pattern of Paying Humble Deference To A Great Mind.
Of course, the Susskind talk is actually really really great. But there does seem to be a lot of baloney in the TED proceedings lately.
So I think I'll just finish up by saying I actually don't think Feynman would have liked this event. I think he would have said, "I don't need this." But how should we honor Feynman? How should we really honor Feynman? I think the answer is we should honor Feynman by getting as much baloney out of our own sandwiches as we can.
