[marcus]

There are all these Feynman YouTubes. Does anybody have a full listing? Or a favorite 10 or 20 of them? Can you list them with suggestive topic names to make it easy to find one you want?

Feynman is more than physics. I'll try to start the list

Thinking part 2 (brain didn't evolve to understand nature at quantum level)
