If I could have one wish fulfilled, listening to this man in person would be at the top of the list. Above world peace and unlimited chocolates!

I am pretty sure Feynman would disagree with your choice of priorities.

Thank you for commenting here. I'm not so sure whether he would have disagreed. Maybe you met him, so knew him enough to know that he would've disagreed. I don't know. But an interesting hypothetical question is this, 'should it matter whether he agreed or disagreed with my choice?' I don't think it should. If he did disagree, and gives good enough arguments against them (which I'm sure he could if he wanted to) then in the name of a scientific temperament I hope I would change my thoughts. But I'm not sure if I should care for what his instinctive emotional position might or might not have been.
