[FRIAM] on Feynman, again

[gⅼеɳ ☣]

Since we recently went 'round about quoting and criticizing people who quote Feynman, I thought this would be interesting.

> if you write, for example, that Richard Feynman was a self-aggrandizing chauvinist showboater, then even if your remarks have a nonzero inner product with the truth, you don’t thereby “transcend” Feynman and stand above him, in the same way that set theory transcends and stands above arithmetic by constructing a model for it.  Feynman’s achievements don’t thereby become your achievements.
