Saved Again By Richard Feynman
Reading the book The Pleasure Of Finding Things Out by Richard Feynman when i was 19 years old has substantially contributed to the majority of my life’s ‘A Ha!’ moments. It’s no exaggeration to say that i would be a much different person today, and have a drastically more limited grasp of reality without it.
Today, i find myself being saved again by the writings of Richard Feyman. I stumbled upon this site which explains, and lets one download, the Feyn Tube script for Firefox extension Greasemonkey. When enabled, the Feyn Tube script automatically changes all YouTube video comments into Richard Feynman quotes. You Tube comments, aka the armpit of the internet, are all suddenly now extremely clever and insightful quotes about science, life, religion, doubting, girls, bongos, Brazil, languages, art, etc.
The simple act of enabling this feature has increased the pleasure of watching You Tube videos exponentially. Can’t upvote enough.

That book is still one of the better things I’ve ever read; thank you for turning me on to it.
