This should be mandatory. It's like yt folks force introducing their kids to Monty Python, we've got better stuff now, let it go. Feynman is massively over venerated and a lot of us getting tired of hearing about a man who made up most of his aura.

The guy invented the path integral in his PhD thesis. He invented Feynman diagrams and figured out how to do finite calculations in quantum electrodynamics. Unless you're a perfect human being, please, cut him just a tiny bit of slack.
