Embrace Ignorance and Doubt in Science
People are often ignorant of science in the world they live in, but remain happy. Science is considered irrelevant because individuals wait to be asked questions rather than actively challenging misconceptions.

Feynman emphasized the importance of creating a philosophy of ignorance and being honest about one's knowledge gaps, rather than pretending to know everything.
