I seem to recall Feynman having a similar attitude towards philosophy.
It's really sad and disapopinting to see that sort of close-minded attitude come from such a talented person towards entire fields he knows nearly nothing about.

Furthermore, philosophy extends back thousands of years and spans across many societies and cultures. To dismiss all of it in a handwavy way from a position of ignorance, as Feynman did, speaks of nothing but narrow-minded bigotry.
