Keep in mind that there was no such thing as a no-fault divorce in the U.S until 1969. So the listed reasons for divorce — which in this case included violence — are not reliable because they were often invented out of necessity.
- jgalt212 13y agoInteresting. I can only imagine how this discusson would take place on Jezebel. Know your audience, I guess. I, like many here, would not be happy to read negative things about Feynman who is a hero to many in this community.

He had a lot of privilege from being, on average, the smartest dick in a given room, and being the right age and in the right place to enjoy the Greatest Period of Prosperity We've Ever Known. He was probably a blast at parties and exhilarating to work alongside and shoot the shit with, but also probably really flakey and insufferable if you needed something from him. For me, the most telling moment in the Feynman comic (http://www.amazon.com/Feynman-Jim-Ottaviani/dp/1596438274 http://www.amazon.com/Feynman-Jim-Ottaviani/dp/1596438274) was how little attention was paid to his kids. You gotta take the good with the bad. Steve Jobs was a manipulative douchebag, but also conniving, ruthless and full of taste.
