Awful title, but the video is actually quite good. It explores how Feynman - at least in the popular imagination - is more famous for being Feynman than for his actually contributions to physics.
He was really good at marketing himself.
And explaining complex things in simple terms. And thinking of the big picture. And teaching. And… physics.
Yes, no doubt. He was also a true patriot, serving his country on the Manhattan Project and on the Challenger investigation.
