The first leads to introspection and discovery..
The second takes away inalienable rights !!💥💥

Feynman was a truly great man. That was back in the days when "Trust the Science" actually meant what it said.
While I agree with you about Feynman, the phrase "trust the science" will always be self-contradictory (an oxymoron). Science is by its very nature on a constant quest to provide evidence that previous science is false. When it succeeds in proving itself false (or misleading), which is very often, we consider that to be a great thing. We call that a "breakthrough".
Science is the iterative process of getting closer and closer to truth, with some solidly not-at-all-the-truth paths taken along the way.
The point is, science is an approach and can never, by its very nature, make statements about the truth. At best it creates guidelines for action and design that remain in debate in perpetuity.
I remember being told in my high school physics class that we knew all the physical laws and they were immutable. I also remember thinking that was absolute hubris. Twenty years later along came the whole new paradigm of quantum physics.
Actually, if you simply understand what science is, then you can really play games with the liberal left. One of my favorite Feynman quotes describes science perfectly:
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts".
Substitute that in for "Trust the Science" and watch them have a conniption.
I disagree with Feynman's statement there. His statement may be a more accurate description of what the masses think science is, but the practice of science is as I described.
We should all start using the word "Unalienable" --> UN-UH-LIEN-ABLE. This is actually the word that appears in the Deceleration of Independence. The spelling was changed in the decades that followed and now everybody says "IN-ALIEN-ABLE" which is a harsh bastardization of its essence.
As with so many words, ideas, definitions, etc., this has been slowly watered down over time so as to lose the essential meaning of the word. Which is -->> we have God-given rights in which a LIEN cannot be placed against them. Our rights cannot be LIENED. A lien is a charge against one's person or property. Very simple.
Anyway, spread the word when and where you can!
I'll bet he does.
He was responsible for the deaths of some of his colleagues researching cold fusion, he walking into their lab and announced they were useless charlatans, turned off the power for their experiment and then walked out of the laboratory.
A few seconds later the experiment blew up and most of the researchers were killed. He was tried for manslaughter and found guilty but wasn't given a prison sentence because of who he was.
