Pierre Poilievre: What I Want to Build (and Break) To Fix Canada
- ▶ 1:09:54 Shane Parrish Uh, they sort of learned some quasi version of socialism in school and, uh, they don't learn about Richard Feynman when they're taught math.
#88 Derek Sivers: Innovation Versus Imitation
- ▶ 14:06 Derek Sivers You, you have this Feynman quote opening volume one of your book, right?
#53 Howard Marks: Luck, Risk and Avoiding Losers
- ▶ 6:56 Howard Marks You know, I quote in the book Richard Feynman, the physicist, who said that physics would be much harder if electrons had feelings.
#25 Gary Taubes: Is Sugar Slowly Killing Us
- ▶ 3:01 Gary Taubes By, you know, was at its height in Germany and Austria pre-World War II, and the sort of, these people really understood the rigor necessary to do good science, the skepticism necessary, this idea that Richard Feynman later encapsulated by…
- ▶ 1:38:55 Gary Taubes Um, and they're fascinating, but it's, all my books have been about this sort of idea that, that Richard Feynman encapsulized when he said the first principle of science

- ▶ 1:36:17 Naval Ravikant Uh, Richard Feynman, uh, you know, very famously, if you go into his lecture, six easy pieces, where his early physics lectures, um, he has one where he basically explains mathematics in three pages. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:56:39 Naval Ravikant So it would just be, as Richard Feynman said, it'd be turtles all the way down.
Are we too busy to pay attention to life?
- ▶ 12:27 Shane Parrish About the art of thinking clearly, which, um, you know, there's some interesting thoughts in there, and there's some interesting, you know, connotations about where you got the sources and all that stuff, but leaving all that aside, I…
