Murray Gell-Mann talks about Richard Feynman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnMsgxIIQEE
If you've ever read any of Feynman's (not-technical, mostly autobiographical) books, you won't be too surprised about some of the claims made by Murray Gell-Mann here. It's refreshing to hear someone talk about Feynman, other than Feynman talk about himself, yet as claimed by YT's first comment:
> Ironically this interview turns out to be yet another great anecdote about Feynman.
This is the first video I've ever seen on YT where the comment section is HN-discussion level-worthy (incidentally, it's a [HN thread section on alleged physical abuse by Feynman](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7092275&utm_source=chatgpt.com) that brought me to this YT video)...
Still, I'll keep recommending Feynman's books, he's just a delightful storyteller (and you can get to know quite a lot about the Manhattan project reading him).
