There is a clip of Feynman telling this story in his own voice. I can't remember exactly what it's called, but I'm sure I've seen it on youtube. Do some searching and you should find it.
The word 'anti' not only means "opposed" it also means "vicar" or "in place of" - which combined means "someone taking someone's place, not with good intentions toward the original" i.e. an impostor.
How sophomoric - philosophically speaking. Is that the best "lesson in disrespect" Feynmann can attest to having learned from his father? Pity - but it does go a good part of the way in explaining his breathtaking arrogance as a person (notwithstanding his scientific brilliance).
"He hated him [the Pope] anyway.." Feynman's father obviously had a deep prejudice against Catholicism which was not uncommon at the time. He inspired love of physics in his son but pity he didn't encourage an understanding of the subtleties of religion. Catholic teaching is that the Pope is only a man. Catholics revere the office of Pope which exists to guard the deposit of spiritual truth an important component of our culture. The Popes hat is irrelevant.
@jefitz "Catholics REVERE the office of [their] pope which [according to one doctrine] exists to guard THE deposit of spiritual truth". THAT is why his father hated [the concept of] the [catholic] pope. Subtleties can be found ANYWHERE in nature, why bother with those of organized religion that claim truth based on belief rather than reason? Sure, you can argue some theologians disagree. I'd rather have the laws of physics discovered than another thousand years of "Is god bound by reason?".
I think he suggested we are all human beings that eat sleep and suffer live and die. Of course if you do not respect the man, at least respect the authority such as a priest or a judge or a police man. My mother said all fish are fish in the ocean, but they all have a different price in the fish market.
@fernandoluis7 "Of course if you do not respect the man, at least respect the authority such as a priest or a judge or a police man."
No, respect is earned, not granted. Regardless of the uniform or position, they still must set the example and earn their respect. There is no need to respect a person who has not earned it. There are very few police who deserve respect because they abuse their position and uniform and think themselves a higher class from the rest of society.
The Pope represents something, the people who bow in front of him doesnt do because of him but because what he represents and the Pope always bow first or with the people .
Well, that's the least profound thing I've ever heard coming from Feynman. The Pope nude is "just like everyone else." Ted Bundy nude is "just like everyone else." Therefore, when nude, the Pope = Ted Bundy. QED
@CplFerro Feynman is talking specifically about looking to others as authorities who will TELL us what is true and how to live instead of us LIVING and DISCOVERING for ourselves. In that sense, yes: the Pope = Ted Bundy, inasmuch as we should not look to either of them as authorities to direct our lives. He's obviously not saying the Pope is a serial killer (although, I'm sure he'd be quick to remind you that the Pope COULD be a serial killer--i.e. HE IS HUMAN).
@CplFerro Actually, Ted Bundy nude is NOT like everyone else. He has intent and desires that make him not like everyone else. The Pope, on the other hand, without his costume, is like everyone else, barring he isn't some sort of deviant like Bundy.
@sexyloser Dear sexyloser, No one is "like" anyone else. Everyone is unique. If you would like to understand the Pope's uniqueness, try reading what he has written, such as Deus Caritas Est. Only a highly educated and spiritually sensitive individual could have written such a thing. Cpl Ferro

—Aristotle you obviously have accepted the idea and feel the need too challenge it why he may not of said something similar about a rabbi but what he did was love science and imagine no religion we are all equal homo sapiens in science but under religion we are contracted to a belief or theory made many years ago what i mean is to move forwards use science to go backwards use religion
@Xerotaerg do i sense bitterness? tough luck, the Pope is fucking ridiculous and does not deserve anyone's respect, at least not to the extent of considering him a "God's messenger"...
YOU ARE A TURTLE. Sorry but if have to be an imbecile then the least you can do is be a turtle.
Anway, you were saying that it was typical that a jew would teach his son disrespect towards the pope. All I meant was that a genius cannot have respect for a man as insidious as the pope, or for religion in general.
@Xerotaerg You really think Richard Feynman had a preference for Judaism over Christianity? Just from watching his interviews alone, you can easily see he didn't subscribe to any one religion. Anyway, he didn't grow up religiously. You thinking that he would discriminate in such an arbitrary way is a bit of an insult to him. Actually, if anyone's an arrogant piece of shit, it's got to be the Pope.
Julian Assange's mother was also concerned that her son not develop an "unhealthy respect for authority". Feynman's father was very involved with his intellectual development. I think both men, although they were not completely homeschooled, show some of the value of what society receives from a more intimate, individualized and self-directed approach to education.
The photos of Bush and Obama are ironic since the president of the Republic is supposed to be a public servant. He is not supposed to tell you what to do, you are supposed to tell them what to do. George Washington repeatedly reminded people of this, and all the way up until Lincoln was killed anyone could visit the white house and walk inside and chat casually with staff. I don't care how many people say "But nobody believes that anymore." That is how it was and is supposed to be.
@danomicky I wish I had never mentioned anything about about my brief period of delusion. The things you mention are good things but when I decided to think critically about christianity I attacked the foundations of it. it did not take long to notice all the big holes.
P.S - A point to note, Feynman was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965 for Physics and held several professorships throughout his career, all positions of authority. He is known as The Great Explainer, don't take this clip to be anything more or less than that.
Finally, Feynman only asked one thing of his students, no matter what their religion, race or gender, " Clear thinking, clear presentation". "He never suffered fools or pretenders".
I don't understand why this clip has become a discussion about religion?
In this excerpt Feynman is clearly talking about the differences and similarities in Man. He uses the Pope as an example, this has no bearing on any religious opinion he may, or may not have had (he clearly states that it is his father who lacks love for the Pope). As a scientist first and foremost Feynman didn't have a disrespect for authority, just for those who used their knowledge to appear superior to others.
My only authority figure is Christ Jesus. Yahweh has gifted me with intelligence so I choose to honor Him by not wasting this precious gift. I read the Bible daily but I also read many other books. I love listening to Richard Feynman talk about things. He did not share my views on faith but it would be foolish to discard his thoughts because of this.
@blkcpdconure If the other books you read were full of as much inconsistency, fabrication and obvious falseties as the bible, would you give them the credence you give to it?
@blkcpdconure So Jesus is your authority huh, Well then, riddle me this, why didn't he give antibiotics to the people. Talk about not teaching a man to fish. You perform a miracle and his blindness is gone. You show the people how to clean and chlorinate their water, you give a miracle to the masses. Jesus was just a man of his times, he didn't know about bacteria. Read the bible and see, i did, and now I know it's a lie
I guess religion can be good if it's a personal faith, driving a decent social morality but it causes so many problems. It just makes me laugh how people can actually believe it. I would love there to be an afterlife , it's a nice idea which is where the problem lies . Its lame how people con themselves into believing things for mental security, and in some circumstances of 'Organised religion' this compromises equality and the most important thing having FUN!
@meanmrmustard89 This clip was taken from an audio book. I was struck by this section and I decided to post it. Feynman recounts this story in personal interviews which are also on youtube.
@ndjarnag what book is this? I think I would endjoy an audiobook of Feynman's introspections - if that is indeed what the book is about. I guess it is Feynman talking about his own father?
For some reason, what Feynman says in this chapter of his book (and what he says in many others), makes so much sense to me. It's so great to think that there was a man who could have such sophisticated ideas about the world, and still share the point of view that I have. I love Richard Feynman because he never said "I am right": or "your view is wrong." He only said that "/this/ is an interesting topic that I'd like to learn more about."
PS - And i maintain that people worship the science and artistic class too much. History (real History) shows that this class of people are the most easily duped and corrupted by Authority.
I used to go for this "question authority" bullshit, but now i realise how shallow that saying is. A saying created by authority. If you want to know what is going on read and watch everything from "Antony Sutton". Feynman was good at physics but, like most scientists, a dumbass at everything else.
@GodHatesPortugal, if you think you shouldn't question authority, read up on the 1986 Challenger shuttle explosion. Feynman was brought in to investigate, but NOT to find out what had happened - NASA already knew! (the engineers had warned them that the shuttle could explode if the 'O' rings had not thawed out). NASA engineers remained silent in order to keep their jobs, but Feynman found out, NASA tried to silence him, but he wouldn't have it.
@GodHatesPortugal, Iraq had WMD & Al Qaida is an international terrorist group with the power to destroy the US. LOL! Politicians r utterly corrupt & morally bankrupt. They secretly armed Iraq in the 1980s (read "Spider's Web" by Alan Friedman), supported Saddam in brutally crushing an uprising in 1991 that could have toppled him; America then imposed brutal sanctions that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children, &, finally, bombed the crap out of Iraq, & imposed brutal economic policies.
@GodHatesPortugal, what's your agenda? Who in their right minds would blindingly obey authority? Saddam Hussein was in a position of authority - would you have trusted him? The Chinese government is an authority - if you were Chinese, would you have faith in their edicts? Those in authority MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE to the people they serve. We are not cattle to be branded and herded - we are thinking human beings!
@GodHatesPortugal I find it sad that a human being can hold this position. What makes you think that any authority reigning over you is to be trusted? I seems you're taking a comfortable standpoint here, assuming that any authoritative force being excersised upon you is automatically in the right?
What i was trying to say is that the whole "Question Authority" saying, as exists today, is a very flashy but also very shallow saying created by Authority to fool people thats all. Small example, the very same people that created the Vietnam war are the very same people that created the whole anti-Vietnam war movement and the 1960´s counter-culture. Like i said, read and watch everything from Antony C. Sutton and get out of the Hegelian-dialetic (the method Authority uses to rule over us)
The people are not bowing at the Pope for him, or the costume that he wears; they are bowing to God, whom they see as being on the other side of the veil that he represents. The belief in the Pope's "specialness" doesn't lie in physical differences between him and other human beings, but in supposed spiritual ones. To point out that the Pope shits each day like everyone else does is misses the point. The rituals are not revered for themselves, but for what they reach out for.
Religious dogma consists of a few nuggets of common sense (at best) embedded in an enormous (shallow) swamp of superstition and nonsense.
The sheep are then drowned in this swamp of sewage by the cult masters - (evangelical gasbag, catholic functionary, ayatollah, they're all the same con artist in different guise - enjoying one or more of power / position / wealth as they harass and fleece the sheep, while dragging the world backwards & downwards.
For those of you interested it's the 4 first numbers in e, the natural logarithm. Since they worked with radioactive materials, is was a pretty common number :)
It is true that a great scientist would always question what he learns whoever he learns it from. Thjat it implies fondamentally a disrespect of authority. Unfortunately this attitude which is a positive thing in science may be problem-making in society...
@MrIBW2 The only way to have a successful society is to stand up against corrupt authority. Teaching people to think critically is extremely important. The longer we teach people to blindly obey orders, the longer we will have great suffering.
Feynman rocks the party!!! and he is spot on. Well within a tolerance level of x "but dont take my word for it" lol
Nature turned out a part of herself which could describe far better than some versions before and boy did she pay attention when she did so! ...wish I could have met you when I was kicked out of physics in high school for messing around, even though I was passing my exams. Ooops
There should be a law that you can't read Feynman without even trying to put on a Queens accent. You should also have to play bongos as some point in the reading. How about it, Congress?

The people were not bowing in front of the POPE, but in front of the "nonphysical" that the Pope represented. R Feynman was undoubtedly great. But as the video tells us, even he was "only" human and forgot here that things can be otherwise than he thinks. So many of us get bogged down which is OK but not ok when we de-value the values of others.
Thank you for commenting. Dont know about LOL but I am highly spiritual and never listened to the Pope but I also understand that how we express or practise our spiritual life is complex and not necessarily worth LOL -

Allah said: Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction.
It is clear from your comments below that you understand nothing of science or how knowledge of the world grows. All you can do is continue to repeat verses from scripture like a parrot whenever confronted with an argument that requires you to think - something you clearly cannot do.
Then the Quran is not from Allah, as there are many contradictions.
Now go away with your nonsense, you are disturbing peace with your religion. You are spreading hate and now you keep discussing instead just tolerating our opinion.
You are intolerant of our opinion but want to distribute your own. Your opinion doesn't even make sense, now go away.
9.33 . He it is who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth , that He may cause it to prevail over all religion , however much the idolaters may be averse .
M' s companions were good at forging the Quran after his death while he himself never wrote down a word. it is fascinating to see muslims never questionning the roots of quran. It is is a that heart of islam not to ask questions, but to brush them aside and to slay those who are too nosy. Hence the lamentable records of islam in modern science for instance. Muslims are great for blowing themsleves up, not to invent dynamite...
2.191 . And slay them wherever ye find them , and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out , for persecution is worse than slaughter . And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there , but if they attack you ( there ) then slay them . Such is the reward of disbelievers .
This is not a specific attack on the pope...but the pope is a perfect example to illustrate the point. The pope is a man with an extremely recognizable uniform is in an observable position of power. He merely serves as a great example of the point because of his high recognizably.
If any1 here understands evolution on a molecular level or cellular, than it's quite obvious all humans as a species came form the same cell. The planets and stars have obtained equalibrium but still find themselves in motion and never in the same local. DNA is always in motion whether in the body expressing transcription but still on a equalibrium based body traveling through space, i.e. evolving. Theres no"body" in a position over the other until we expressed it as such
Does man think that he will be left neglected (without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord Allah on him)? Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female sexual discharge) of semen emitted (poured forth)? Then he became an Alaqah (a clot); hten (Allah) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion. And made of him two sexes, male and female. Is not He (Allah Who does that) Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).
Which God? The Christians would say it's Jesus and Yahweh. The Hindus would say it's Shiva dreaming the world into existence. The Buddhists would say it's the illusory world of Maya. The Ancient Egyptians would say it's Atum willing Egypt into existence. The Vikings would say the world is held by the Yggdrasil tree and came from a land of fire and ice.
You can't just quote the Quran to support what the Quran says. What makes you more right than others?
@Tofy710 Read and compare Quran and Mein Kampf. They are twins. This quoted verse is wiped out by a host of others (9:33 and 2:191) which orders muslims to peter out non muslims. Muslims should have the courage to say loudly that their aim is to conquer the whole world, by force if need be.
hahaha, you are just downright stubborn, I JUST told you that you cannot quote the Quran to support what the Quran says and so you went ahead and... quoted the Quran to show that it's right.
Does your mind not move beyond that book? Can you not comprehend anything that Allah doesn't say? Did Allah invent or talk about the internet? No? Well then you better get off of it and stop talking because it's downright unholy!
What about the word of the Christian God? The Pagan gods? The Jewish god? The Zoroastrian god?
How many times do I have to repeat myself? The Quran is just a book, humans write lots of books. The notion that what you're reading is the literal word of god is just ridiculous. Does the Quran mention DNA? Does it mention galaxies and the Big Bang? Does it talk about electrons and cells? No? Well then your god is pretty underwhelming at writing.
that was almost like you were speaking english except you didn't make any sense. i hope what you were trying to say is that you aren't going to explode because when wackos start talking about islam that tends to happen
allah isn't a 'god', and, to be blunt, if you really believe the imaginary monster an illiterate peasant 'prophet' claimed told him to go around killing and maiming others for disagreeing w/ him is anything but bad fiction, then you are an idiot. I say this not (only) to be a dick but also because, as evidenced by the way in which you and your delusional nonsense have ruined this thread (in much the same way Islam ruins cultures/nations it parasitizes), you're silence would be appreciated.
@huxtiblejones and to all the Jesus believers, I say to you, if he was God, then why didn't he give them antibiotics. Performing a miracle on one person is like giving a man a fish instead of teaching him to fish. Jesus didn't because he was not god or the son of some so called god like he claimed, he didn't know about bacteria he was a man of his times.
@huxtiblejones Point seen. However, I have met many athiests whose minds do not seem to move beyond 'The God Delusion' by Dick Dawkins. There are idiots on both sides of the debate.
No and I do not intend to. The Gangster of the Desert was eager to tell anyone that he was unable to do miracles.... he was only good at bending others' mind to his will by inspiring fear of Hell and Allah, ... and of his sword...
No, but I read such things in quran I am not prepared to put up with...9.33 . He it is who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth , that He may cause it to prevail over all religion , however much the idolaters may be averse .
So what? These fancy stats only demonstrate that muslims mix up quantity and quality. If you are happy with this intellectual desert.... Even the web you use owes nothing to islam but everything to western civilization. I hope you like my quranic quotes...
Muslims behave like good record players, repeating meaning intellectual skills... Where is a muslim Feynman, Heisenberg, Pauli or Einstein? Allah is miserable for giving Jews an obvious upper hand upon muslims in intellect. You cannot be bot sumitted (muslim) and creative as it seems from the past 500 years.
Islam is toxic to neurons to a point beyond grasp... 4.56 . Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations , We shall expose them to the Fire . As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment . Lo! Allah is ever Mighty , Wise .

George Washington repeatedly reminded people of this, and all the way up until Lincoln was killed anyone could visit the white house and walk inside and chat casually with staff. I don't care how many people say "But nobody believes that anymore." That is how it was and is supposed to be.

P.S - A point to note, Feynman was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in 1965 for Physics and held several professorships throughout his career, all positions of authority. He is known as The Great Explainer, don't take this clip to be anything more or less than that.
Finally, Feynman only asked one thing of his students, no matter what their religion, race or gender, " Clear thinking, clear presentation". "He never suffered fools or pretenders".
All in all, don't bring a banana to a gunfight...

I don't understand why this clip has become a discussion about religion?
In this excerpt Feynman is clearly talking about the differences and similarities in Man. He uses the Pope as an example, this has no bearing on any religious opinion he may, or may not have had (he clearly states that it is his father who lacks love for the Pope). As a scientist first and foremost Feynman didn't have a disrespect for authority, just for those who used their knowledge to appear superior to others.

My only authority figure is Christ Jesus. Yahweh has gifted me with intelligence so I choose to honor Him by not wasting this precious gift. I read the Bible daily but I also read many other books. I love listening to Richard Feynman talk about things. He did not share my views on faith but it would be foolish to discard his thoughts because of this.

I guess religion can be good if it's a personal faith, driving a decent social morality but it causes so many problems. It just makes me laugh how people can actually believe it. I would love there to be an afterlife , it's a nice idea which is where the problem lies .

For some reason, what Feynman says in this chapter of his book (and what he says in many others), makes so much sense to me. It's so great to think that there was a man who could have such sophisticated ideas about the world, and still share the point of view that I have. I love Richard Feynman because he never said "I am right": or "your view is wrong." He only said that "/this/ is an interesting topic that I'd like to learn more about."

@GodHatesPortugal, if you think you shouldn't question authority, read up on the 1986 Challenger shuttle explosion. Feynman was brought in to investigate, but NOT to find out what had happened - NASA already knew! (the engineers had warned them that the shuttle could explode if the 'O' rings had not thawed out). NASA engineers remained silent in order to keep their jobs, but Feynman found out, NASA tried to silence him, but he wouldn't have it.
Feynman was merely being used to fool the public.

The people are not bowing at the Pope for him, or the costume that he wears; they are bowing to God, whom they see as being on the other side of the veil that he represents. The belief in the Pope's "specialness" doesn't lie in physical differences between him and other human beings, but in supposed spiritual ones. To point out that the Pope shits each day like everyone else does is misses the point. The rituals are not revered for themselves, but for what they reach out for.

The people were not bowing in front of the POPE, but in front of the "nonphysical" that the Pope represented. R Feynman was undoubtedly great. But as the video tells us, even he was "only" human and forgot here that things can be otherwise than he thinks. So many of us get bogged down which is OK but not ok when we de-value the values of others.
