Was a bit suspect before the video, but in large parts agree with her. It is Newton Maxwell and Einstein, and yes Feynman is a great physicist, but does not belong in the GOAT category. She should have used Dennis Rodman as the basketball example (5 time NBA champion, mostly known for his antics off the court).

She seems to be a bit too much on the "woke" side for my taste (seems eager to condemn sexist men from past eras as "weird" which I think means asshole in her vocabulary) and I don't agree with her stance on billionaires, but I think her analysis of Feynman's legacy is very impressive. She really went through all the books she could find on the guy.
All said, I have enjoyed all the video footage I've seen of Richard Feynman and I would like to think that these interviews and lectures have shaped my opinion of him, and not the "Surely you're Joking" books. That FBI report though is really bad. Paints a much more nuanced picture.
