Richard Feynman wrote a book called What Do You Care What Other People Think? I think he wrote it because he likes to tell stories, not for social validation. Although I'm not sure of that ... now I'm confused.
- icebraining 13y agoIt's not a dichotomy. I'm sure he did like to tell stories; and he also liked them read, otherwise he wouldn't have published them. And is it particularly hard to believe that he also enjoyed knowing that others read and enjoyed his books? People don't always do things for just one reason. And social validation is not a bad thing; I mean, why would it be bad to feel better about yourself for knowing that others enjoy and appreciate what you did?
