I didn't know he'd said that, but it certainly sounds like the sort of thing he would have said ...
Not sure it's something Feynman said per se, but: https://fs.blog/2012/04/feynman-technique/

Ass hat seems too demure as it implies coverage. My favorite new term is "ass pipe" as they really let the bullsh*t flow.Technical threads are known for generating hot spots. Disagreements happen, as do train wrecks and explosions. Recently I ran across Paul Graham's "Disagreement Hierarchy." You can find his thoughts explained in detail here:
How to Disagree
www.paulgraham.com
Graham has given names to different ways people disagree online and arranged those types of disagreement into an ascending order - from worst to best. Pyramids with his system are easy to find online; this hierarchy has found traction. What do you think of what he's put in each category?
Note: the top three ways of disagreeing address the content that is being disagreed with. The bottom four do not.
A quote from that link above by Graham:
"If moving up the disagreement hierarchy makes people less mean, that will make most of them happier."
So they disagree on how to disagree?Wow. I had no idea people would find Graham's thoughts so offensive or off-putting. New knowledge for me.
I thought, and maybe I'm naïve and wrong, that the majority of the comments were tongue in cheek so didn't take them as genuine criticism of Graham.Wow. I had no idea people would find Graham's thoughts so offensive or off-putting. New knowledge for me.
Actually, I find his pyramid quite reasonable, but I couldn't resist my comment about the base of the pyramid.Wow. I had no idea people would find Graham's thoughts so offensive or off-putting. New knowledge for me.
