> I've found that mathematicians generally suck at introducing or explaining things. and then there's Grant Sanderson

  I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to describe Sanderson as a contemporary Feynman, at least from the pedagogy side of things.

    And Feynman himself was characterized by his advisor in a recommendation letter as "another Dirac, but this time human."[0] [0] paraphrasing from memory, might have been a different supervisory figure.

    Perhaps on pedagogy, or at least nice, intuitive, layperson (but technically accurate) explanations of things. And plenty of fully-rigorous explanations of some things too. I'm a big fan of Sanderson. But I don't think we can compare Sanderson to Feynman on raw intelligence or contributions to the state of the art in math/science.
