Never heard it explained so well

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Feeling of confusion.

If I was able to invite six people to dinner either dead or alive this chap, one Richard P Feynman, would be first. here he explains confusion.

My favorite Richard Feynman quote:

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts".

The above has served me well every time I hear people trying to use consensus to silence unpopular opinions.

Sadly, Dick died the year before I started attending Caltech. I got Physics 1 from Dr. Goodstein instead, but the legacy of Richard Feynman still perseveres at the halls of Caltech today. He was a truly great man.

It's a great quote for those who can think it through
I fear it or variants of it are often hijacked by those who cannot
