Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

“Go read the story that Richard Feynman tells of betting an abacus user.”

“If not, I suggest to read just for fun of it”

“Completely unrelated books about curiosity not people skills, but still lots of fun.”

“it does seem clear that these stories were refined and selected for inclusion”

“That chapter wasn't the only thing I ended up skipping or heavily editing.”

“the stories in Feynman's autobiographical books”

“his books strongly indicate this”

“it is generalizing an entire group and justifying contempt toward them”

“He addressed the problem of females who simply eat and drink for free EXPLOITING stupid dudes”

“Great advice! Not misogynistic at all!”

“explained perfectly (to me) how to treat women at clubs in order to be respected and have attention from the gals. WORKS LIKE A CHARM”

“I remember when I read that 20 years ago, it felt a bit made up.”

“The stories in "Surely you are joking Mr. Feynman" portray Feynman in a mean-spirited, sometimes sexist light.”

“recommending the book is a valorization of his wacky hijinks”

“It seems a legitimate criticism that this book held up as an example of a good role model in physics doesn't try to avoid perpetuating bad stereotypes.”

“the degree of sexism effectively celebrated by inclusion”

“criticizing misogynistic behaviors celebrated in those books that has left a negative impact on the culture of physics”

“really absorb the part where he explains how he had so many crazy adventures and encounters”

“But he is against hazing, explaining how traumatized European Jews were hazed and reliving their fears in Europe.”

“especially reading Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! leaves a bad taste in my mouth after all these years”
