Other than his odd ridicule and disrespect of the social sciences (perhaps it was justified criticism in his time), Feynman was a true intellectual. He displayed infinite curiosity in both the arts and sciences. I love that he was able to learn so much about physics, history, anthropology, linguistics, evolution, and chemistry. Very admirable. After watching so many videos of him and reading the Feynman lectures it is clear that he was a mind that loved solving puzzles and riddles of all sorts. A polymath for the 20th century.
