Dear /lit/,

"The theoretical broadening which comes from having many humanities subjects on the campus is offset by the general dopiness of the people who study these things."

-Richard Feynman

I don't think Richard Feynman has any room to speak on the dopiness of anyone.

How way he dopey? The man was a genius.

Have you won a Nobel?

>> No.2634257

Nope, not even mad. Scientists have been saying this crap for a long time, but it still doesn't change the fact that they're as subject to the forces of history and culture as the rest of us, despite how much they purport to be above such things.

Feynman was smart as fuck, but he's far from the greatest of Nobel recipients.

That neckbeard is the founder of American poetry and one of the most brilliant writers to ever live.

Don't mention poetry to science majors, they'll just scoff at you because they have as much ability to understand verse as we do quantum physics.

He's trolling, just ignore him.

You're right, though. Leaves of Grass is one of the best books ever written.

Love Richard Feynman. Absolutely love him.
Wish he was around to offer an opinion on man made global warming. He's the only scientist I would trust.

>> No.2634324

lol @ you if you think that feynman would endorse this dumb snobbish scoffing at art, humanities, etc. feynman was deeply cultured and intellectually curious, curious about life in general. you're just a dumb fucking asshole.
