Jason Statham would be my ideal actor to play Feynman

>>5619658
Angelina Jolie would be my ideal Feynman casting.

I get the feeling you kind of like Mila Kunis.

I am still pissed that BBC cancelled the Dirk Gently Series.

Strip away the myth and he was an insufferable self important aspie.

Is it true Murray Gell-Mann thought Feynman was a dick?

>>5619789
>insufferable self important aspie

Welcome to /sci/

>>5619788
yeah, he was nothing but a plebe.

>>5619789
He would fit right in

>>5619790
Everyone did. He had no friends that were also colleagues/contemporaries

Seems the national academy of science committee members have found their way to /sci/...pls go

>>5619813
that's not what a pseudoword is, a pseudoword is something that you can say but has no meaning, for example "pugroop". maybe you should read the article you linked to.

"pls" is just an abbreviation

>>5619820

+1 internet, sire.

>>5619814

I studied linguistics some...

'pls' isn't a properly formed string to be a world in English...

Are you saying we can't discuss historical figures? hahahaha

>>5619824
No you didn't. "Pls" is just an abbreviation. Like "etc" or "congrats"

>>5619846

I didn't take Linguistic courses in college? Really?

we weren't arguing about 'abbreviations' but 'psuedowords'

care to reconstruct your argument?

>>5619860
Which argument? It isn't clear what you are saying. My argument is that 'pls' is not a pseudoword, as it has a well understood meaning.

I'd argue that you probably haven't studied linguistics because you don't write in sentences, even when discussing "proper English".

>>5619860
why the scare quotes around 'abbreviations' and 'psuedowords' if you are a linguistics student?

>>5619970

It's the Internets... not a job application.

>>5619972

why not?

>>5619987
>why not
Are you the linguitsics guy, because then you should know the various way quotes are used. We weren't talking about the words 'abbreviations' and 'psuedowords', but about their referents.

>>5619987
But unlike a job application, there's no point in lying about what courses you took as an anon on the internet.

>>5620008

How about I'm just too fucking lazy to worry about typographical rules when I'm posting anonymously on a board with no memory?

You're making this too complicated.

>>5620012
>typographical
That doesn't mean what you think it means.

>>5620013

Yeah. It does.

Can we get back to the fact that there's some show about /sci/'s own god on the TV today?

>>5620025

Please do.

>>5620023
Then I guess you are also too fucking lazy to use words with the correct meaning. The decision to use quotes in a 4chan post is a matter of grammar and style, not a question of the arrangement of type on a page for reasons of legibility and aesthetics. Anon has no control over typography here unless you dabble with JSMath.

>>5620033

Your Autism does not amuse me.


A typographical error (often shortened to typo) is a mistake made in the typing process (such as spelling)[2] of printed material. Historically, this referred to mistakes in manual type-setting (typography). The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger,[2] but excludes errors of ignorance, such as spelling errors. Before the arrival of printing, the "copyist's mistake" or "scribal error" was the equivalent for manuscripts. Most typos involve simple duplication, omission, transposition, or substitution of a small number of characters.

>>5620042
Exactly. You didn't make a typo. It was an "error of ignorance" as in your definition. how do we know? Because you repeated the quote symbol four times.

Further, as your definition states typo is an abbreviation for typographical error, not typographical, the word you used.

>>5620061
quit bullying him, he's obviously underaged

>>5620067
I admit it is shooting fish in a barrel.

>>5620061

Unfortunately for your argument, that would imply that I don't actually know the difference between use and mention of words.

Somebody used a term of art that temporarily befuzzled me. You just like to talk to hear your head rattle.
You can call a dog's tail a leg if you want to, but a dog still only has four legs.

>>5620070
>>5620067

don't samefag... It's tacky

>>5620073
Nope. My current argument is that you did not make a typo, whether from ignorance or some other motive. Are you still claiming those quotes were typos?

>>5620075
hey, i'm just enjoying your dunning kruger fucktardry

>>5620073
>I don't actually know the difference between use and mention of words
Evidence supports this

>>5620025
I bet it will be shit. Is this the first time Feynman has been portrayed in a drama?

Wait. Wat?

>>5620122

>>5620124

>>5620107

Sparky, I almost put topographical, 'cause that's one of my favorite gags.

Let's start at the beginning.

'pls' isn't a properly formed string to be a world in English...


What IS your point???

>>5620112
>enjoying your dunning kruger fucktardry

The Dunning-Kruger effect is when you don't know what you don't know even exists, not when you make a mistake; that's just not knowing. More specifically. it's when the skills used to do what you are doing are the same skill needed to evaluate how well you are doing what you are doing; if they are absent, you will never know you are fucking up because the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate how well you are doing your task are the same skills necessary to do your task - guaranteeing that you'll never know you are doing badly or how badly you are doing.

For example, I work for a bus company that has never heard of operations research, or statistical quality control. They lack both the skills to do the job of preventative maintenance and routing efficiency, AND the skills to assess how badly they are doing. Therefore, they are totally fucked and have no way of knowing they are totally fucked, until someone else has to tell them.

This is why I support whistle-blowers.

>>5620124
>Sparky
>I'm not feeling terribly secure right now, so I'll start using patronizing pet names for my adversaries.

I take it you mean word, not world.

I'd argue it is a word, as in a "smallest lexicographical unit that has semantic meaning. Though it is not 'correct' in formal contexts, as it doesn't follow the conventional rules of spelling. If this were to preclude it being a word, then all language prior to codification of conventional spelling would somehow be without words.

It is also an abbreviation of a word.

>What IS your point???
more bluster as with "Sparky"

>>5620158
>The Dunning-Kruger effect is when you don't know what you don't know even exists
no it isn't. it's the following.

dk people:

Tend to overestimate their own level of skill

Fail to recognize genuine skill in others

Fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy

Recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they are exposed to training for that skill

typography guy has the first three down great.

>>5620172
wait, what. lol? is this the same guy just getting EVERYTHING wrong

>>5620172

>Fail to recognize genuine skill in others

thank you for telling me what your issue is

I recommend you continue posting Anonymously on this board, as that will certainly gain you fame and fortune.

Now if you actually wanted to know MY problem.. I would have gladly told you.

>>5620199
>what your issue is
i'm the d-k guy, not the guy trolling you for attempting to use fancy words and shit and using them wrongly

>>5620172

Those are valid symptoms of the effect, but those symptoms can also come from people who are knowledgeable in their fields but invested in their own methods, simply aren't listening to the distraction of others, or have an arrogance derived from experience.
Dunning was specifically targeting those people who don't know that what they should know even exists. This is not just the fault of the dumb. This has happened throughout the history of science. Philostogen was considered real for 100 years before the discovery of oxygen. Since no one could even postulate the existence of Oxygen, no on could even know that they didn't know what was going on. SInce philostogen was accepted, no one even had the ability or the tools to question it. This is the Dunning- Kruger effect. Try reading a book sometime instead of assuming you know something just because it fits into your existing viewpoint. Then maybe you won't be guilty of all those nasty symptoms of the Dunning-Kruger effect. You're not guilty of it, you are just wrong.

>>5620180

and you dropped you triptag when you made the boo-boo

nice going

>>5620216
i've not used a trip in sci ever.

wait, are you doing that, it's me an one other anon, basic mistake?

>>5620214

don't matter... he'll read it.

everyone is collateral damage

>>5620218

There is only Anon.

>>5620218

There hasn't been a trip in this thread since feynman's bongos way back. I think he's just throwing red herrings to detract from his general retardation.

>>5620227


>that's not what a pseudoword is, a pseudoword is something that you can say but has no meaning, for example "pugroop". maybe you should read the article you linked to.
>"pls" is just an abbreviation

I didn't say that, by the way.

You've been fighting with someone who isn't even here...

>>5620214

as to "attempting to use fancy words"


I often insist a Categorical Imperative is a deli sandwich.

>>5620220
I did read it, but it doesn't really work unless I said it, does it?

>>5620229
No, I said that.

>>5620236

I am pretty sure it is working just fine.

>>5620240

So 'you' are just 'worked' up 'because' I'm really slooppy about "quotes"???

pull the other one...

>>5620244
So, you also think that turning someone's own words around and using them against them, also works when they aren't actually their own words? That the power of this technique somehow carries over to anyone who happens to be in the vicinity?

I mean, do you really believe this is good rhetoric?

>>5620255
I'm not worked up about anything.

>>5620258

oh no... it is not rhetoric

rhetoric is meant to convince an audience

>>5620262

then why are you getting involved in a domestic disturbance? any cop will tell you that is dangerous!

>>5620263
>first i was trying to be smart
>then i pretended i was trolling

>>5620267
I'm not. I'm posting on an imageboard.

>>5620271

I care about YOU.
I am talking to YOU.

unless of course, you are 'the other guy'

Him I don't much care about.
But he's a big boy.

>>5620276
go away faggot

>>5620279

No you.

>>5620273

YOU ARE MUDDYING THE WATERS!!!!!

>>5620012
If you aren't worried, why would you spend more time than is needed putting in the quote marks?

>>5620290

Err.. no.. The 'worry' part is an allusion to a Monty Python sketch. The Montgolfier balloon one.

>>5620312
You are making such a fool of yourself.

>this thread

Started off so well, then died.

should have cast Stellan Skarsgård as Feynman.

>>5620334

making a fool of myself...

posting Anonymously.....

how does that work exactly?
