Richard Feynman’s advice to Stephen Wolfram

In quotable on 16 June 2010 with 1 comment

Richard Feynman gave Stephen Wolfram the following advice when Wolfram asked about starting his own research center:

Find a way to do your research with as little contact with non-technical people as possible, with one exception, fall madly in love! That is my advice, my friend.

Because those with whom a (presumably) straight guy might fall in love couldn’t possibly be technical people themselves.

I love Feynman and I get the point.. but… le sigh.
