"What Do You Care What Other People Think?" by Richard P. Feynman

Schwinger for work leading to the establishment of the modern theory of quantum electrodynamics. Feynman shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Shinichiro Tomonaga and J. The atoms come into my brain, dance a dance, and then go out-there are always new atoms, but always doing the same dance, remembering what the dance was yesterday.Richard Phillips Feynman (Feb 15, 1988), was a famous American theoretical physicist who was widely regarded as the most brilliant, influential, and iconoclastic figure in his field in the post-World War II era.

To note that the thing I call my individuality is only a pattern or dance, that is what it means when one discovers how long it takes for the atoms of the brain to be replaced by other atoms. So what is this mind of ours: what are these atoms with consciousness? Last week's potatoes! They now can remember what was going on in my mind a year ago-a mind which has long ago been replaced. It means the atoms that are in the brain are being replaced: the ones that were there before have gone away. It means that phosphorus that is in the brain of a rat-and also in mine, and yours-is not the same phosphorus as it was two weeks ago. “For instance, the scientific article may say, 'The radioactive phosphorus content of the cerebrum of the rat decreases to one- half in a period of two weeks.' Now what does that mean? What Do You Care What Other People Think? It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a satisfactory philosophy of ignorance, the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.” If we suppress all discussion, all criticism, proclaiming “This is the answer, my friends man is saved!” we will doom humanity for a long time to the chains of authority, confined to the limits of our present imagination. This we will do if we say we have the answers now, so young and ignorant as we are. In the impetuous youth of humanity, we can make grave errors that can stunt our growth for a long time. It is our responsibility to leave the people of the future a free hand. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future.

It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems.

“We are at the very beginning of time for the human race.
