Are you trying to say something about us planning on majoring in something related to humanities?
Adam, you need to start playing poker.
Me? Saying something? I never said anything about the humanities. It's Feynman who's doing the talking here. Don't start putting his words in my mouth. As much as I'd like to think otherwise, I'm truly not that worthy.
oh, adam.
i'm offended.
and i think you guys could all benefit from a little more "dopiness."
Man, you picked the worst time to start reading my blog again. I think that you would be pleased with my recent progress toward being more open-minded regarding a varied course of intellectual pursuit.
I double-majored in two humanities. I must be a double dope. Actually, I remember several dopes in my classes. Hmmm...
Yes, yes. Everyone takes this all too seriously. When I recited this quotation to Leeor he became very annoyed and accused me and this "Feynman person" of being arrogant assholes. Not that this isn't true, but the incredible irony of the quotation is what I found amusing.
