I'm beginning to get disillusioned towards all the Fyneman hype. After not finding "Surely You're Joking" very interesting or insightful, I find myself disappointed in his lectures as well.
The majority of his beliefs are deeply rooted in political matters and become shortsighted because of it. He seems to have had a deep hatred of anything socialist and specifically soviet and was enamoured by capitalism, considering it to almost lack flaws. He could not foresee a world in which extreme inequality would lead to regulatory capture and corporate rent-seeking to the detriment of scientific development through the collapse of public education.
His beliefs and ways of looking at the world did not stand the test of time, at least that's my opinion from reading this.
