The Importance of a Father

[jankerle58]

How important it is to be there for your kids! Heartwarming!

If only more fathers would be like his father, this planet would be saved.... 

[rahxephon52]

hahaha interesting things that were going on in the woods. hahha good one!

[liztino1]

Reminds me of my dad :')

[Courl]

This is heartwarming.

[djziggurat]

I wish I had feynam's father :(

[TheCaoth]

@djziggurat I wish I had Feynman -as- my father.

[Arghira]

My dad said to my that they died in Noah flood!!

[DerivativeDrivel]

Is it just me or does he seem a bit sad near the end?

[treerape69]

I love this video both because of the subject matter and because Richard Feynman is the fucking man.

[cjjaxxon]

You know something? I noticed a lot of fathers in a way are like this. Men like to explain. Ask a mom this and they'll say "don't bother me with that. Go sit down somewhere".

[6oodfella]

@cjjaxxon Or "I'm trying to watch my stories", so sad :(

[cjjaxxon]

@6oodfella LOL but very true.

[happybatty]

@cjjaxxon I don't know who your mother was, but I never had this experience with mothers. My mother always explained things to me, and my dad never did because he simply couldn't, or felt like he couldn't. Same with my grandma and great-grandma, and other women in my family. My grandpa did explain things to me when it came to cars and other machines, but he's quiet most of the time.

it's sad, I don't see too many good fathers out there these days...

[cjjaxxon]

@happybatty The men I knew knew something. The women seemed to be too concerned about other stuff like how they look or what's on TV. I'm in my mid 40s.

[happybatty]

@cjjaxxon ah, that might explain it. I'm in my 20's, and I grew up around smart women, and not so smart men

[cjjaxxon]

@happybatty Yeah.I grew up as a black kid in the mid 1970s and a teen in the early ti mid 1980s. In this time period single mothers were already the norm but at least the fathers were still around. My father was still around but I also had a step father. My mom was a single mother for a while till then. The reason for good fathers not being around THESE days is the mothers who raised these boys.

[S1CKDRIFT3R]

@cjjaxxon you grew up as a black kid? so what are you now?

[cjjaxxon]

@S1CKDRIFT3R A black man. Smart butt!

[S1CKDRIFT3R]

@cjjaxxon You're a black man? You're not black though are you, that just what you've been told, you're actually just a dark brown.

[cjjaxxon]

@S1CKDRIFT3R I know where you're going with it and we could get technical but I'm not so THERE.

[S1CKDRIFT3R]

@cjjaxxon Ahhh come on, I love youtube arguments, they're so fucking pointless.

[cjjaxxon]

@S1CKDRIFT3R You make a good point if you wanna talk about ACTUAL color but I don't wanna talk about it because it's been talked about sooo many times.

[snakelared]

That's a really beautiful story to tell. I hope that the man I meet and have children with will be just like his father.

[Nomoreidsleft]

Nice story about his father, I think whatever his father was like, he would have come up with QED nevertheless. After all, how many kids would even ask their dad about the "moving" ball. It was just that time, experiments were discovering things about particles, and atoms, and 2 other people sniffed the air, and came up with the theory at the same time. The key was that he had the knowledge to understand the data, but was not brainwashed into clinging on to dogma. Same story with Einstein.

[DarthConnis]

Four misandric feminists have watched this video.

[DarthConnis]

I think the reason that they titled this, "The Importance of a Father" is because more and more children nowadays (especially in the black communities in America) are growing up without fathers. Children nowadays are being educated by feminists in their schools, and are not told that fathers are important.

[JDALIVETUBE]

feynman reminds me of my grandfather so much

[Nomoreidsleft]

@JDALIVETUBE Actually he reminds me of Dr. Emmett Brown, from Back to the Future. I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher LLoyd based his character on Feynman.

[phattown213]

my dad used to beat me with a stick.

[ItsNotEvenSunny]

@phattown213 lol

[foreskinforest]

@phattown213 You needed it. lol.

[fosheimdet]

I wish I had a father like that :(

[DrSourCream]

looks like he has a nice crop of poppies in his garden.

[fosheimdet]

@human2011able just why the fuck do you spam on a Richard Feynman video? GTFO

[human2011able]

@fosheimdet just why the fuck do you say what you are saying? GTFO

[human2011able]

@fosheimdet just why the fuck do you spam on a Richard Feynman video? GTFO

[charlieking100]

I commend the Genius of Feynman!!

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

Nearly every child is a born scientist.

It is both ignorant & vile parents and straight-jacketed formal schooling that sucks that profound curiosity out of them like a curiosity leech.

[ion010101]

Even school teachers lament that they are expected to do the job of the parents, because even school people know that kids who do well come from stable supportive home lives. What an irony that if everyone understood this, they wouldn't send their kids to school. Learning requires only supportive parents. Anything else just gets in the way of normal growth and learning. When you're forced to learn multiplication, you're learning multiplication AND that you need to be forced in order to learn.

[quidproquo2004]

Such wisdom!

[djalternegro]

i also think the title should be the importance of a loving parent. there are plenty of

women able to impart the same knowledge to their children as feynman's father. perhaps i would have understood a bit more had the relationship been about sports only etc...but the importance here is not particular of a father rather of a caring, patient, loving parent, irrespective of gender.

[skydome29]

@djalternegro Yes but in this clip it's specifically about Richard's Father, The Importance of

[djalternegro]

@skydome29

no, the title is "the importance of a father", which implies a father has a specific developmental and intellectual influence on a child that a mother does not have and also vice versa. i fundamentally disagree with that notion. yes, the clip was about feyman,s father, which is why it should have been titled the importance of feynman,s father.

[skydome29]

@djalternegro I agree with "should have been titled the importance of feynman,s father." As this could have been replaced by a grandparent,teacher, aunt/uncle, sibling.... We are saying the same thing.

[FariaBren]

2:50 is my favorite part :)

[comebackata2]

my father doesn't talk to me ...

my mother and I used to watch those documentaries about planets and stuff, then I started to ask questions ... then she got fed up because she couldn't answer them and told me to shut up

:(

[picklesnorf101]

@comebackata2 Same here. All we can do is try to be better parents to our children than our parents were with us. Even if we are only a little bit better every step helps in the hopes that our children will be even better parents than us. All we can do is try. PEACE x_X

[LovetoPlayGuitars]

"No pressure, just lovely interesting discussion."

That is so refreshing to me.

[6oodfella]

I notice the small differences now that I'm a father. I was in the park with my son recently, who is 2, and he pointed to a horse and said "Horse", because that's what we taught him it was, and further along there was a boy about 4, he pointed to it and said "Horsey". I didn't say anything of course, but I don't understand teaching your child the wrong word, just because it sounds cute, only to re-teach him that it's actually a horse, and not a horsey. What a waste of time.

[SeeProfileForDetails]

the isn't about the importance of a father, but rather the importance of a good father. or rather, a good parent. It could be a mother, but I suppose fathers are more interested in science

[elimik31]

I think that for a child's development it is much more important to have such parents who love their children and try to show them how the world really is than which genes it has or how large it's brain is. Only in such a supporting and loving environment intelligence can emerge.

[Jornev]

This guy had at least one proper parent; good on him. and good on us for it!

[91jgphonecall]

damn that blow my mind, about the ball

[etopowertwon]

This video makes me sad. My parents never bothered this way. They called it "we're teaching you independence, so we will not help you with any school related work", so basically I never was exposed to different viewpoints, unless school books did so which is quite rarely, especially in history books.Most books and teachers were like "it's so because it's so, so stop asking questions".

It took decade(and counting) of internet surfing to undo this damage.

[VanillaShoelace]

I had almost the exact same relationship with my father as Richard Feynman was describing with his, and It's because of my father that I'm studying physics. I miss you Dad!

[500millionamericans]

There is nothing more important to a child's development than the relationship that he has with his father. Maybe it's different with a girl, I just don't know. But, as a male, the father will always have a huge impact, even if he's not always around.

[idiotkrati]

when I was a child we had nothing, we lived in the other side of the world. my father had no money to educate me in public schools so he gave me lessons himself. When I was 10, we had a better economy so I started school. And the most amazing thing is the fact that I had to skip two classes because I was too educated for 5th grade.

[hollyspry]

1 of my brothers is an awesome father, perfect really. He adopted his wife's children, twins; one of them being severely mentally handicapped, and he has been their FATHER for 30 yrs now. I have a sister who raised two highly successful individuals ALL ALONE. Then I have 3 other brothers, all of whom have abandoned some or all of their children. We were all raised with the same bio dad. So I would say that ppl like RNRDOLL really need to gain a broader sense of the world & real life situations.

[hollyspry]

@ RNRDOLL So you're saying that all it takes is the presence of a biological father to make a man out of a boy? That's amazing because I know of many boys in adult male bodies who were raised with biological fathers! If only this WERE enough to make MEN of all the boys. :-) BTW My hubby and his 3 brothers were raised by an amazing man who was not their bio dad. Both his dad and bio-dad are deceased but it's dad he misses.

[RNRDOLL]

Remembering what little I saw of my father; he made a VERY long lasting impact. He taught me the importance of self control, self confidence, and the benefits of being fearless and tireless and 'getting your hands dirty'. He also taught me a great deal about saving money and balancing expenses. Growing up around my mother mostly, I was never exposed to such things via her. But God bless her for being there.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

All those things your MOTHER could have taught you if she had the skill set. Nothing you mentioned is a trait of only "Male tutelage"

[RNRDOLL]

Maybe she could have, but there's a certain aspect that's undeniable about fathers, especially the relationship towards his son. Again, the father is best suited to teach his son to 'hunt'. Look at cultures around the world for centuries, the vast majority is fathers teaching sons to do this. I do not downplay mothers at all, they are awesome and indispensable. But feminists have this idea that they don't need men when it was that sperm that helped created you. Why bite the hands that feeds?

[RNRDOLL]

My final statement is this; The reason why 2/3 of marriages don't last is because the family stops working as a unit. Modern feminism says that man is no longer important when she can just go to a sperm bank. That's a synthetic family, a fabrication, and ultimately what creates problems for ANY child growing up. It promotes lack of identity. That child is gonna have to fight HARD to settle in his/her mind why you chose a tube over a real father. Peer harassment ensues, humiliation etc. See?

[TheGoddessNetworks]

You can not speak for why 2/3 of marriages dont last when all data leads to MONEY being the chief reason for divorce. Modern Feminism does not have ANYTHING to do with it. Where do you men get these off biased conclusions..lol Point is if women were not tired of putting up with male entitled children in adult bodies, then she would not seek divorce. Women are simple, not as complex as you all want to make us out to be.

You can try to twist my words if you like, I had a Father, A DAMN GOOD ONE!

[edthewave]

Sounds like Dr. Feynman had a wonderful father! This illustrates the kind of critical thinking skills so many people lack.

[nagaLilith]

The double-standard you speak of is a result of patriarchy, and pre-dates feminism. The assumption that women's job is childcare, and accompanying assumption that men are not suited for childcare was used explicitly for centuries to deny women access to jobs, votes, and generally access to the public sphere. The difference is women now have a right to divorce, their property and children, men have not changed their role. That is what separates fathers from their children, not feminism.

[DeviantAtavist]

You seem to forget various alimony and child support laws put in and endorsed by feminism which makes it a lot easier for women to "have a family" without a man and the anti-male "women can do everything themselves" attitude this is heavily pushed that is the result of feminism. In theory, in a world where women could divorce their husbands there could still be tons of families together, but feminism has taught women that the man is not necessary.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

EXACTLY!

[JPetrucci744]

The single parent thing goes both ways, a family needs both parents to function correctly, unless you're like a super human.

[iFreeThink]

@JPetrucci744

Lol, I must be a super human. :p

[Jabes1966]

Chickens are coming home to roost for feminists. Many studies prove (and people in general) are realizing that fathers are essential 2 the development of children. They parent in a way that encourages exploration, self-discipline, consequence for your actions, & 2 protect the weak.

Many many people are coming to realize that the hordes of dysfunctional people unleashed on society are due to fatherlessness. And that the #1 cause is the advancement of the feminist wetdream: father-optional family.

[AquaticRobot]

The father is not only a sperm donor, he has his right to his child. For healthy development and maturity, a child needs both parents - the father and the mother. But gender feminists want to kill the father after the baby is born. Since mainstream feminists want to deprive the child from his/her to the father, mainstream feminists apart from being anti-men are anti-children also.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

wow at the sexist remarks on this page, as if Men are the only ones who contribute to soceity because they "build things" Looks like some need an advanced Afrikan Civilization class. Anyway I did enjoy this vid! I love my Father to NO END. Fathers are needed BUT I cant say that a child can not do well without one. Same for the Child without a mother. I enjoyed the Video

[thecreepyguy]

Well there is definetly a key ingrediant to raising a good human being that single mothers are missing.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

What is the KEY ingrediant?

[thecreepyguy]

I dont know but it's definetly something the father teaches. After seeing stat's a wile back at how many rapists and abusers children raised from single mothers become, There is definetly something wrong with their upbringing.

I'm not prejudice i was raised by a single mother.

Thankfully i saw my father every now and then and i'm pretty sure it's made me a better person, I also speak to him online sometimes.

The point is children raised by single parents are only getting half an upbringing

[JPetrucci744]

@TheGoddessNetworks I think Afrikan Civilizations are just far too advanced for most people... I mean they build houses from mud and they don't seem to fall down :s

[RNRDOLL]

Like the guy below me, a single mother does lack a certain something that only a father can bring to his son. Not downplaying her role; (my mother busted her ass) but as a SON, only a father can teach you how to be a man. Where as, my mother can only teach me what she perceives a man to be or what she wants in a man, based on the experiences she had with men. That said, a home without a father, as a male, is a confusing place to grow up, especially regarding sex and courting.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

Not true, it goes against Logic to say that the same women who held the male child in her for 9 months, gave birth and nurtures the child can not teach him how to be a "man"

As I see it masculinity in America id fucked up anyway. MEN don't even know how to be men.

[RNRDOLL]

Again, you miss the point. Without taking away the responsibility and the vulnerability of the mother who has to carry her son in her belly 9 mos., She can only teach her son what she PERCEIVES a man to be based on her experiences being around them. She has no idea about the internal feelings & guidelines of being a man any more than I understand the internal feelings & guidelines of a woman.

Without masculinity, you would not be alive. It was THAT that survived our species beyond the ice age.

[RNRDOLL]

I would love to call my mother up and let her speak to you about how hard it is to raise two sons without a man of the house. She would easily admit she could only do but so much, the rest we had to figure on our own. Although every handful of years she would try to introduce a new father figure to guide her...but it never worked. We rejected him, every time. That's proof, a boy needs his BIOLOGICAL father to teach him to 'hunt', so to speak. No feigned image is as good as the REAL thing.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

YOU CAN GIVE ME NO PROOF THAT A BIOLOGICAL FATHER IS NEEDED. What do you think women use to do in Matriarchal cutlrues. They use to have Uncles and Other Males help raise the child. This thing you all have with "ownership" is sad. Additionally male privilege is even worse, as you value the son over the daughter. The only reason women think it is harder to raise a male is because society has programed her that way. ALL CHILDREN should be respected. It's not easy to raise ANY CHILD alone.

[RNRDOLL]

Well without him, where would the sperm come from? A cow maybe? There has to be a biological father in order for the child to even be BORN. That's why they call it biological father after all...his sperm produced it. If he produced the sperm, it his child too.

As for that remark about privilege. If I ever had a daughter, she would be as much loved as my son if not MORE payed attention to. BUT I KNOW, again, I can only do but so much to show her the way to becoming a WOMAN without her mother.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

I can get sperm anywhere. That does NOT men the biological father is needed in the home.

[RNRDOLL]

If a man gives his sperm..donated or not...he is the BIOLOGICAL FATHER. When your kid asks you "Mom, who is my dad?" What are you going to say? "I had sex with a tube..." Seriously, tell your jive to someone else.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

A child needs a stable enviroment full of love and respect. A Step Father can provide that as many men help raise children that are not BIOLOGICALLY theirs. Because you and yoru siblings denied the care and love of male affection, that's on you. ANOTHER MAN WANTED THE PRIVILEGE THAT YOU ALL DENIED HIM. SO lets not make this about semantics. A women can even Hire Help if she needs it. Our children need LOVE, simple as that

[RNRDOLL]

Please, there's a reason my brother and I rejected false male figures; Because they were too weak to handle rearing us further and we exposed them quicker than my mother could; We were like the velociraptors looking for the inconsistency in the electric fence. As for step fathers..I cant tell you how many times I knew a kid down the street who got the shit beaten out of them every day by his stepfather. The step father has no REAL attachment to a child not his. There are exceptions, but very few

[TheGoddessNetworks]

You and your brother as a CHILD did not nor can any child reason a "false father" is weak when TONS OF STEP FATHERS RAISE CHILDREN TO THIS DAY! Your mindset is SICK! Domestic violence has NOTHING TO DO WITH STEP FATHERS, Its more of a MAN trait. (Further proof men are to violent anyway)

THERE ARE TONS OF EXCEPTIONS, you need to get out more.

[RNRDOLL]

I can thank that 'kill or be killed' testosterone attitude you despise for keeping me and my older brother from having some dude after my mom get too comfortable and end up beating the shit out of us every day like some of our friends in the neighborhood. Ultimately its going to be that same testosterone that keeps me in the gene pool unlike the limp-wristed pansy. I'm immediately better suited and stronger willed than him to rear my child. I think with my brains AND my brawn.

[RNRDOLL]

It goes without saying, don't try to comprehend or empathize with the male code, you are not male. Its fine because the biological differences between male female are fantastic. Be happy!! You received less body hair, a less coarse body, nice curves to admire and attract us, softer features etc. I am happy I am a man. You should be happy to be a woman and not obsess over what we have that you don't..because what you DO have is irresistible to us. Now tell me that's not great power!

[TheGoddessNetworks]

If you read my comments you will see I mentioned that I had my Father. SO for me its not about what women "dont have" its about the snide remarks and disrespect men have toward women concerning these topics. The Son is always seen as more than the daughter and the BIG PICTURE SEEMS TO GO UNSAID. ALL CHILDREN NEED LOVE, PERIOD!

[TheGoddessNetworks]

what you said was sexist and you don't even know it. So women should be happy because we have "curves that attract men"..WOW WHAT A HAPPY DAY! SMDH!

[RNRDOLL]

You are such a woman hater actually, I'm highlighting the things that make women special, what makes them unique and beautiful, regardless of the differences from woman to woman. Those are the things that ultimately became the 'wink in your fathers eye'..deny it?

[RNRDOLL]

I'd be fuckin' happy if all I had to do was perk up my boobs and dress to impress! We envy you! For a man to attract a woman though? Its MUCH more complicated. Do you deny that? A man can't simply pout his lips and say nice things and BAM shes all his. No, it takes a series of emotionally charged experiences to bring her in. Our mothers don't teach us that; they simply tell us, 'be nice!". It doesn't work, because a woman's attraction is based off FEELINGS, not actions like it is with men.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

I am a woman and I can tell you with a 100% resolve, women are not attracted to men based on Feelings..lol YALL NEED TO GET OUT OF THOSE PSEUDOSCIENCE BOOKS! We are looking and analyzing various things. The opposite can be said of men who are far more emotional and choose women based on tits and ass, purely sexual. I guess if she cant get your dick to rise then she is not worth shyt (as you so proved in your above "boob" comment) I will no longer type to you, Sexist White Male entitlement..smh

[RNRDOLL]

Do you deny, that in your partner you prefer someone who portrays a certain amount of masculinity? Someone who non-verbally communicates, "I am of strong mind, will and body to help rear a family and to protect them from harm and to provide"...or would you rather have some limp-wristed coward? Without your father's testosterone and sex drive, his sperm would've never made it to the egg and you would not exist.

[TheGoddessNetworks]

Yep without the SPERM not without the BIOLOGICAL MALE IN THE HOME. Two Different things.

[Parley454]

Ya some really crazy feminists believe that a woman can also be a father, which of course isn't true. Men and Woman are different, and that isn't a bad thing.

[jbgood3]

Many children today are robbed of the opportunity to gain from the knowledge, experience, love and help of a father due to the war against families, males and fathers by the femimarxists including their poodle boys.

Feynman demonstrates the benefits of a positive role model who tries to make order out of chaos. Feminist leaders want to make chaos (anarchy) out of order as a prerequisite to socially engineering a Marxist society based on what they see fit for other people, not themselves.

[TheHappyMisogynist]

Great clip. Thanks

[CountArtha]

My Dad was just like this. He always answered my questions.

[ArgusEyes]

Children are powerhouses of curiosity.

[CountArtha]

They are when they have an accomodating parent, anyway.

[ArgusEyes]

I disagree, I think most children are naturally curious, but when they have a parent who does not answer or who tells them to go away then they learn to stop asking questions.

[CountArtha]

That's what I mean. Without a parent or "mentor" it doesn't last.

[ArgusEyes]

Oh, sorry.

[CountArtha]

Never mind. :)

[tunelefekat]

@ArgusEyes

Not true, I am 21 years old, and still have a lot questions to ask, and when I was younger it was the same.I would ask my father every possible think that I was thinking about, and his answer would be that he don't know that and finally told me that is better to tell me nothing than to tell me something if that is incorrect. Mine curiosity never died, it's just bigger and bigger, because it is very big pleasure to find an answer to some question all by your self, without anybody..

[djalternegro]

@ArgusEyes

i think chlidren are naturally curious, but i think emotionally or physically absent

parent(s) can destroy that curiosity early enough to make it seem like it was never

there in the first place. so i agree with you and argus both.

[djalternegro]

@CountArtha

amen countartha.

[carbondecay]

@CountArtha my father never really knew, I found it all out on my own for the things he could not explain or i did not want to make him feel inadequite cause i knew he wouldnt know...

[WizardKing78]

Without men the lights would go out.

And women would again find themselves afraid of wild-animals, just like they were 20,000 years ago.

What are women good for; apart from the obvious?

[ninjanerd8]

No. That's the Neo-Feminist attitude and it's stupid. Don't stoop to their level. With the public automatically siding with the woman in every situation, that's the only way we can garner sympathy.

[WizardKing78]

It's time to tell the truth. Women are surplus-to-requirement.

[SpazzzDog]

we don't need sympathy, we need people to stop being idiots.

[ninjanerd8]

You have to learn the way the world works. Real justice doesn't mean shit. All that matters these days is PR.

[vetromaster]

Are you for real?

I mean a libertarian PUA artist, whose favorite books are, among others 1984 and Terry Pratchett? Aren't you overdoing some a little bit?

I demand your photo, with a PUA book, taken during a Ron Paul parade,or its equivalent in UK.

This photo will be a proof of your real existence, otherwise I'll proclaim everywhere that you are a troll hivemind spawn from an infamous website..m(_._)m

[TheCaptianCanuck]

Keep going,  your message is important. I applaud you.

[Orville9999]

Have any studies been done on females' attitudes toward males before and after taking womens' studies classes?

[ArgusEyes]

It would be a useful study to make.

[Orville9999]

yes it would.

I know that the lack of male role models is the main reason boys and young men are failing academically, but the fact that the people teaching them went to college and probably took womens study courses probably hasn't helped.

[AliasThatIsFake]

Lack of role models isn't the only reasons. There's a long list, but one of the main reasons is that our education system isn't designed for males.

[vetromaster]

It's quite stupid to assume that it should be designed differently for men and women, for we are all human and we all have identical learning tools. Those who fail, do so not because of the system, but because they are the architects of their own success or failure. They are making a choice by not making it.

[Red0660]

No but I've taken a Women's Studies course called "The Psychology of Women" I thought it was a science and psychology class! It was a feminist class......I've been a Men's and Father's Rights activist ever since.....

[Roan7995]

That makes me lol. Women's studies .... >_>

[MysteryManoLove]

Awesome video man, awesome post

[Chevrobert]

Great Vid Argus. Fathers are invaluable to their children when they are allowed to be fathers. Some fathers are like the stereotype that feminists want us to believe of the beer swilling lazy man who ignores his children. But the vast majority of us do enjoy our children and want to teach them. I am glad you put up this example.

[loqutor]

I'm very disappointed in my father. He was a weak, pathetic man who couldn't stand up to people who mistreated him without prodding from me. Because of that, I've always felt like my childhood was incomplete.

[kmsoileau]

Fatherhood is a social construct, just ask any feminist...LOL

[crypter27]

good video

[soccom8341576]

My dad was an engineer who taught me about gears and mechanics when I was very young. He also explained to me Chinese philosophy, strategic thinking and the ideas of morality. I don't quite know why I was so interested in morality at age 4 (about the earliest as my memory goes), but I am still interested in philosophy now. I think that morality thing had to do with the time I ran over this big bully in the neighborhood when I learnt to ride a bike on my own.

[soccom8341576]

You know what? I was just watching this same footage in another video before I saw your vid on my subscriptions page!

[ArgusEyes]

Weird, it jumped out at me when I was watching the full documentary, which is heartily recommended, and I thought it could be made into a separate video.

[MitchofSmeg]

whats strange is this is what my mum did for me, lol, not from the E B though, but other things. But to me it is as limp said, this guys dad is more the exception. TBH the best thing my dad gave me in knowlage was how not to treat your family and children.

[LimpLoser]

what a wonderful father he had; but lets me honest, most dads dont teach their kids shit; Feynman's father was the expection rather than the rule.

[ArgusEyes]

The level of observation that Feynman's father taught him may be abnormal, but the man was just a uniform salesman, that's not ultra-elite stuff but he was able to teach his son how to think not what to think, how many tales like this are out there? I think we can all think of lessons taught us by our fathers and simply to have a father (who isn't an abusive jerk obviously) helps boys and girls grow up healthily.

People like limploser and mitch are the exception and the rule for then and now was that you usually learned very important things from your father. Hopefully limp and mitch won't create the new exception of the father is useless and do nothing. Products of the day and the bs they are fed.
