@sidewaysfcs0718 … @sidewaysfcs0718 Neither you nor the sixteen levelers who gave you the “thumbs up” understood what Feinman said *at all*.
He isn’t saying a word against meritocracy; he’s saying that “honors” have quite a bit less to do with merit than is commonly supposed.

There are fields that mathematics cannot adapt nor explain because they are too complex. Some questions of quantum mechanics, for example, are so confusingly complex that not even the scientists understand the mathematics that are created in order to explain certain phenomenon!
I believe that mathematics are only limited as far as our intelligence is! Thats why they are a human abstraction!

It predicts because it uses the common sense of our knowledge and adapts the world around it! Its not the mathematics that are accurate – it’s the Universe that is (mathematics just probes it)

Yes, i know!
But the majority of poeple make the exact oposite mistake, without ever realize it: The people with good grades are automaticly intelligent!
Which one is worse? I think this one is worse because its simply false
@luarionte But you … @luarionte But you shouldnt make the mistake in saying, that people with good grades are automaticly unitelligent, I think this goes a bit too far^^
@luarionte I … @luarionte I totally agree with you, here in germany we have the same problem.
When I still was in school, we had people with good grades, who were completely idiots in the regular everyday life, but their parents, bought them private teachers, made them learn all day long, and thats why they memorized everything like a robot, and voilá, good grades.
I dont really have an idea of how to effectifly improve that (it would take too long to explain it anyway) so…
@angela1894 There … @angela1894 There you go, typical racist misinformation.
Yes! people are very different from each other, but these differences are based on Charakter and culture, not “Skin Color”.
what sidewaysfcs0718 wrote, says it all
“nigger, wetback, porchmonkey, faggot, queer …words invented by white people to mock other races.”
Nigger isnt a word to distinguish black and white, its to offend black people.
if it was to say this person is black, you simply say “black” and not “nigger”.
the difference u are talking about isnt what i ment ..
we live in a society of hate ..
look at how we lable people “straight” or “gay” ..so straight ..the world means normal …buy gay used to mean happy ..so homosexuals are unnnturally too happy or lunatic?
is there any word for white that is racially offensive? cracker doesnt really sound bad
nigger, wetback, porchmonkey, faggot, queer …words invented by white people to mock other races..
There is nothing … There is nothing wrong with any of the labels you listed. Black people are fundamentally different from us. Only silly, childish liberals think everyone and everything is the same. No. Labels are useful to distinguish between different things.
@angela1894 I don’t … @angela1894 I don’t think there are many people in the history of the world as articulate as Feynman. It takes a lot of skill to explain very difficult physics to laymen and there is no better teacher than Feynman.
I think our ears now might be trained to more convoluted speeches than very very direct points. Physicists are always the best at getting to the point.

nice to see someone is not going along with group think.
