Her primary thesis, if I understood correctly, is to clarify that none of the books with Feynman listed as the author were written by him, and that they were transcribed from interviews, lectures etc with editorializing. For example, by Ralph Leighton. Her secondary point was that she hates the "autobiographical" ones, and finds parts sexist, and thinks most of the stories are mostly false/lies/storytelling.
With that in mind, I think we'll agree it's not relevant here, as these seem to be handwritten notes by Feynman himself.
- oh_my_goodness 10mo agoFeynman didn’t write these notes. John T. Neer did. There’s an explanation at the beginning.
- the__alchemist 10mo agoTy for the correction!
- takinola 10mo ago> and thinks most of the stories are mostly false/lies/storytelling. It's been a while since I read "Surely, you must be joking" but I seem to recall Feynman himself makes the same point. He basically says something to the effect that some of his stories and bon mots are things he wished he said or did rather than stuff that actually happened.
