Quantum entanglement implies that voodoo dolls are theoretically possible.

Also, maybe we should collectively stop invoking Feynman’s name? I’ve heard he wasn’t exactly a fine man

quantum entanglement implies no such thing, stop reading garbage.

also what's cancelling a man who died in the 80s going to accomplish for literally anyone? he was a historic scientist who made important contributions to his field. absolutely tell the truth about the kind of person the man was but "shut up about feynman bc feynman bad" is a fucking brain dead take.

Still a scientist that can't and shouldn't be erased from history.

Most of the criticism comes from a chapter in "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" where he does some things close to what we now call PUA shit. In other words, picking up women at a bar by acting like an asshole.

Feynman also called it off after a test because he didn't want to treat women that way.
