“Richard Feynman had a hierarchy of the sciences:
Physics is applied mathematics.
Chemistry is applied physics.
Biology is applied chemistry.
Psychology is a bunch of witch doctors”

Feynman’s (non-science) books are great. (more like personal biographies)

I’d not heard that quote before. Completely fits him.

Indeed. His explanation of quantum electrodynamics is brilliant, but he has great quotes about that also:

“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” 

And methinks this quote from him describes progressives to a T:

“There’s a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.”
