It showcased that even a guiding intuition is enough for a curious kid to reach inexplicable depths of nature's hidden troves, while at the same time follow independent walks of life. However in the Social context of your blog, I shud mention his view on Equality - where he underlines and justifies the value of concentration of capital for development of society, and how the rich countries are foolishly blamed for all inequality around. Hmm I guess we are rational enough to contend to this now :) However if this specifically interests you, you can read my <a href="http://surreal-flavors.blogspot.com/2008/03/surely-he-is-joking.html">recent post</a> on Feynman. Good Day. Feynman was a free-spirit, and his book “Surely…” was not about Physics, but about Physicists.

His curiosity about ant trails... a true scientist and engaged human being. Yes, I’m a great Feynman fan. His curiosity about ant trails… a true scientist and engaged human being.
