He has a different definition of "Feynmanism" than I do. Have you read Feynman's popular books?
He had little use for philosophers, complaining that they made long, complicated, illogocal "arguments" with little or no understanding of what they were talking about and often without even bothering to define the terms they used. He objected, for example, that many philosphers, without having even the beginnings of an understanding of the Theory of Relativity, said science had proven that all is relative and then extended that into morals, etc.

And, possibly to break his heart, his son majored in philosophy in college.
