Amazing... Even when talking about Feynman this guy talks more about himself.
Amazing that you had the exact same reaction I did! He manages to make a talk on Feynman about Rule 30 and Mathematica. He even closes with a thought about how Feynman said such nice things about him. I mean, really? Wolfram's a smart guy, but he seems to have security issues or something.
i didn't get that at all from this. this talk seems like the least arrogant thing i've read that wolfram has written.
of course he is going to talk about his own experiences with feynman, as opposed to the completely impersonal view; what would the point of that be?
This was much more Wolfram on Wolfram, with a tangential mention of Feynmann.
