You would like Jacque Fresco. His achievements are also quite high, but he never gets the appreciation he deserved. I think he was older than Feynman as well, and far beyond is time.
"I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation other people use it. Those are the real things."
ikr, he always makes these allusions to his father teaching them these lessons. Even with the rose-colored glasses of childhood, he sounds like an exceptional early 20th century dude.
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).
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.
Feynman won an award for being a good teacher. I think, he claimed, that was the award he was the proudest for attaining. -All around an admirable person with good ideas.
I completely agree with this and I am proud to say that I was one of the people that did not watch the "Royal Wedding". My mom called me in to watch something, when i saw it was the wedding I walked away saying that she looked just as happy and beautiful as any other bride out there. Why was she so special to have thousands of people watching her?
I remember where I was at too. I was at my friends apartment. They had it playing on the TV. It was curious to me as to why they were watching it. 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.
Coming back to this after many years, reminded of it as currently many in my nation expose their complete vacuity and servility in the face of the Queen's passing.
Totally agree with him. This is one thing humanity has evolve out off I feel. Why can we not do something just for the joy of doing it. No matter what we do. 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.

if we all can do what freyman says here,there would be no such thing as capitalism, copyright, piracy, worship, fame, poverty etc..everything would be free world and the only credit we would appreciate is the universe itself for giving us life.
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.
Basically theres no difference between one human or another, we all have equal value..the same.. doesnt matter if your the king, the queen, a cop anybody of "status quo"... Your still a human. Preety simple msg if ya listen..
Yeah, I can relate. I'm currently writing a book and finishing my studies, and people like Sagan provide endless inspiration and thrust for me. 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.
The problem with awards, and honours, is the assumption that we are all complete individuals... that we alone are responsible for our achievements, when in fact we bear little individual responsibility for what we do. 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.
This is heavier than anarchy or the comprehension of the "lack" that are titles. This is a basis for a deeper relationship and understanding of our existence and the space around it
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.
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.
Stop playing the devil's advocate and ask yourself why was he so gifted like his contemporaries Einstein, Newton his good friend Bohm etc., who was kicked out of the U.S.A. by the authorities of a much more dubious honours (C.I.A.) NAMASTE peace within your SOUL.
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.
It's his point of view and one the maker and publisher of the video likely agrees with. Nobody said it was prescriptive and that you should unwaveringly follow every single world view held by Feynman or anybody else.
I liked the idea of this video because it brought up something I strongly agree with. We can be very obsessed with material items and specific people. In this chase for a certain praise we tend to loose the experience of "natural" serotonine. Pursing what brings up happiness organically can help us experience the world enjoyably.
The video talks about the true joy of being proud of the discovery that one shares with the world, not the reward that comes after. I do agree with Feynman as that view is similar too with the idea of enjoying the journey along the way rather than solely fixed on the reward, although things like honor could be taken too far it is one the few ways one can show apperception
I'm not explaining this very well, but my point is that nobody does anything alone. Everything that you consider to be you came from everyone else in your life, your teachers, your parents, your siblings, your friends... even strangers you might give the time to in the street have an effect on your mind. 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.
We seem to be, by most parts at least, very hierarchical creatures. We often feel the need to look up to some figure larger than ourselves, be it our father, some royalty, company, God, or... Feynman and Sagan. :) This tendency I'm sure has had a lot to do with our success as species; as well as a lot to do with the downsides of our species. It truly seems to be a blessing and a curse - all in one.
Wow I used to watch the Sagan series and hadn't checked it out for a while, then i come back and there is a Fenyman series.....holy crap, this uploader is something quite special
Oh man. I love this music. It's from the movie Moon, if anyone is wondering. Clint Mansell did the soundtrack and I think the song is "Welcome to Lunar industries". I think.
Definitely human to enjoy recognition, but for some of us, the rush of discovery, of understanding something, something that no-one else has ever understood before, is beyond anything else we'll ever experience.
Feel like we're standing up while watching this. You can hear Feynman speak as if he's in anticipation of the next word. Move us Feynman and we'll move the world.
I'm actually in the middle of reading Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman. Seeing this pop up on my recommended videos was both delightful and disconcerting. Apparently Google Ads are in physical paperback books now, monitoring what you read...
People are motivated to achieve prestige, just as they are motivated to acquire things. For better or worse it is part of the truth of who we are, and a well functioning society will use such aspirations to motivate people to do good.
The person being award is simply a vessel, it could indeed be anyone, carrying the right mix of ideas to combine them and create new ideas which may advance society. The new idea, and the advancement that bears forth, is the truly important thing.
@MuonRay I rather enjoyed your quote.Would you mind if I use it? Thanks from a friend of the universe.PS--I would also like to honor Richard for his honorable observation of honors.;)
This music is from a film called Moon starring Sam Rockwell. The music is by Clint Mansell and both the movie and the soundtrack is superb so check them out.
This is one of the only videos on here that I have problems with. Whilst I understand where he is coming from, I feel it is only human to enjoy recognition for your work.
Oh, and keep it up damewse. Progress through every major public scientist. Dawkins, Tyson, Kaku, Hawking, Harris, etc.... These are awesome videos and I've shared almost all via Facebook.
@@mexicanthinker "I appreciate it for the work that I did... " He is referring to the honors that he received over the years. Basically, he appreciates it, but doesn't need it. By the way, I'm Jimmy, this is my alias. :D
Ok, Jimmy. Thank you very much for replying. I was wondering because I kind of hear an 'ed' and also I read this article fs.blog/2013/11/richard-feynman-honors/
For me this shows that Feynman saying he wasn't a genius is very likely motivated by his opposition to any kind of hierarchy and thus must be a false statement
I think it's one of the problems of the educational system. Instead of working for knowledge they work for the honors. Even though it should be the same the truth is that all to often students study for the test instead if thinking about what's truly important.
Mr Fenyman must have been searching for someone that really is worthy to received such honor and never get to look at one. I wish there is someone worthy for it and everyone in the world agree, friends or foe, large or small, young and old ✌️he has got a true takes on honor and all that honor should means to any human, I completely agree with Mr Fenyman, a great guy with a great mind, I would like to honor him for this principle of him today 💥
@MuonRay I think it's that word, when you say "realize". It's what you Realize. You don't need to know that stuff - you can realize it all the way back and forth. What an excellent choice of words.
As Fynman explained, wouldn't the prize of your project's success, and the recognition you receive by being acknowledged as that project's creator, itself be a good enough of an honor? Why wouldn't that itself provide inspiration and motivation to the rest of us?
@stratocaster1986able You can have something and obsess over it and you can want something so bad that you obsess over it. obsess can apply to wanting something; the two are not mutually exclusive. However most people who have a lot obsess over what they have- for protecting it or to flaunt it. most people never seem to obsess over knowledge though; they flaunt it ocassionally but never seem to obsess over acquiring it.
You're right,the video and music does obviously add emotional weight that may or may not be necessary to the message,but I don't see how it changes what it is intended to carry.I've heard the original interview.Feynman is an inspiring character and I do feel like these videos do him respect.He may or not have disagreed with that,but it doesn't matter since he's dead.
I always come back to this video for some reason.. you will never hear anyone as honest as this man anytime in the near future
Its a rare perspective of honesty, theres loads of honest people just "Mom i have to pee" isnt that special of a truth.

@Axlite2
In my mind, I read your comment in the voice of Sagan :b
As Fynman explained, wouldn't the prize of your project's success, and the recognition you receive by being acknowledged as that project's creator, itself be a good enough of an honor? Why wouldn't that itself provide inspiration and motivation to the rest of us?
Please make Farsi subtitles for this one also, it will be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!
@stratocaster1986able You can have something and obsess over it and you can want something so bad that you obsess over it. obsess can apply to wanting something; the two are not mutually exclusive. However most people who have a lot obsess over what they have- for protecting it or to flaunt it. most people never seem to obsess over knowledge though; they flaunt it ocassionally but never seem to obsess over acquiring it.
You're right,the video and music does obviously add emotional weight that may or may not be necessary to the message,but I don't see how it changes what it is intended to carry.I've heard the original interview.Feynman is an inspiring character and I do feel like these videos do him respect.He may or not have disagreed with that,but it doesn't matter since he's dead.
Dear mr Reid, is it ok to take your videos and share it from my own youtube channel and other social networks ?
