saney,
Thanks for that 👍
Reading it has reminded me why I have difficulties in certain conversations I have with people , on here but mainly in everyday life .
Discovering why people think the way they do has led me to the lifestyle I have (probably) .
Choosing only to interact with others when it suits me because I can't be bothered by their obvious misunderstanding of reality .

I haven't clicked on the link yet, but I think that once you've read about Richard Feynmann, read his books and listened to any of his lectures (which a scientist I know put on to a CD for me some years ago), you know he makes sense! Have you read, 'Surely you're juoking, Mr Feynmann?'

hi SD
Yes I have ,
I'm currently re-reading " Don't you have time to think "
I find his style of thinking very refreshing in times of an increasing population of science deniers

Never come across him, for whatever reason.

Very interesting and thought provoking, I will seek out more.

You have a treat in store for you!
