This was in 1965. Everett’s first paper was in 1957 IIRC. So not only was Feynman mistaken about nobody at that time understanding quantum mechanics, but he thought this could be said safely?
Why are you so sure Feynman is ignorant of Everett, rather than talking about him?
I’d expect that Wheeler, who liked Everett’s work enough to write a companion piece, would have told his other students about it. Steve Hsu points to a 1957 conference where Wheeler talked about Everett and Feynman made it clear he was interested in this stuff.
