Are we going to change the name of Feynman diagrams to something else? Are we going to erase QED? Burn his lectures? a friend of mine was his girlfriend for a while and she loved him. It’s more complicated then let’s erase this person and everything he did for fucks sake.
I never claimed we should erase his scientific achievements or erase him as a person. Feynman was brilliant and made brilliant discoveries of things that rightfully bear his name.

I’m not talking about you directly about this I just mean in general when somebody of that stature is being called out to be erased, and that is happening, which seems too extreme. It’s better to tell the story. Like my professor geoff Marcy destroyed his career.

Yes but it’s comments like this that are filling this thread with shit I never said.

Thank you! I’m sorry you have yo go through this. On the other hand, here’s a positive twist: You have effectively become a science communicator. People consume your content to learn and feel connected with science. Definitely not an easy feat! Be that as it might.
