Leonard Susskind on Richard Feynman

“When I say he didn't like philosophy I meant he didn't like a certain style of thinking that was full of jargon, full of - I'll use his word - "baloney", where people who didn't know what they were talking about pontificated and used fancy words - like "ontological", which I never knew what that meant - as a substitute for simple thinking. That is what he didn't like. And yet, I think in some ways, in some deep way, he was an extraordinarily philosophical person.”

“He hated the fact that he participated in the invention of nuclear weapons, and he doubly hated the fact that he had so much fun doing it.”
