“The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: What Is and What Should Be the Role of Scientific
Culture in Modern Society”
The very first concept that seems unclear for me in Feynman’s speech is his
suggestion about the death, that it is not inevitable, and that it is only a matter of
time before the biologists can prove it. I think this is because it contrasts my beliefs
and faith. Another thing that I find difficult to understand is when he started to use
the United States political parties as an example, this is because my knowledge
about politics and the political system were so little, so maybe that triggered my
confusion about his intended point. Lastly, his statement about Science being
irrelevant, as he also keeps saying that it is relevant, thus, it makes me question
what really his stand is.

more explanations about?)
