Can someone tell me how such a brainlet got the highest scores on the math/physics graduate admission exams he took at Princeton?

It's especially ironic because Feynman is literally behind the most accurate theory of electromagnetic forces known to date.

"In short, electrical currents, as well as magnets, make magnetic fields. But wait, what is a magnet, anyway? If magnetic fields are produced by moving charges, is it not possible that the magnetic field from a piece of iron is really the result of currents? It appears to be so. We can replace the bar magnet of our experiment with a coil of wire, as shown in Fig. 1–9. When a current is passed through the coil—as well as through the straight wire above it—we observe a motion of the wire exactly as before, when we had a magnet instead of a coil. In other words, the current in the coil imitates a magnet. It appears, then, that a piece of iron acts as though it contains a perpetual circulating current. We can, in fact, understand magnets in terms of permanent currents in the atoms of the iron."

From this we can now conclude that electromagnetism and magnetism is the same thing, even though it isn't...

"Where do the currents come from? One possibility would be from the motion of the electrons in atomic orbits. Actually, that is not the case for iron, although it is for some materials. In addition to moving around in an atom, an electron also spins about on its own axis—something like the spin of the earth—and it is the current from this spin that gives the magnetic field in iron. (We say “something like the spin of the earth” because the question is so deep in quantum mechanics that the classical ideas do not really describe things too well.) In most substances, some electrons spin one way and some spin the other, so the magnetism cancels out, but in iron—for a mysterious reason which we will discuss later—many of the electrons are spinning with their axes lined up, and that is the source of the magnetism. "

Basically he's saying "I don't fucking know so uh it comes from spinning".

On fields:
"The only sensible question is what is the most convenient way to look at electrical effects. Some people prefer to represent them as the interaction at a distance of charges, and to use a complicated law. Others love the field lines. They draw field lines all the time, and feel that writing E’s and B’s is too abstract. The field lines, however, are only a crude way of describing a field, and it is very difficult to give the correct, quantitative laws directly in terms of field lines. Also, the ideas of the field lines do not contain the deepest principle of electrodynamics, which is the superposition principle. Even though we know how the field lines look for one set of charges and what the field lines look like for another set of charges, we don’t get any idea about what the field line patterns will look like when both sets are present together. From the mathematical standpoint, on the other hand, superposition is easy—we simply add the two vectors. The field lines have some advantage in giving a vivid picture, but they also have some disadvantages. The direct interaction way of thinking has great advantages when thinking of electrical charges at rest, but has great disadvantages when dealing with charges in rapid motion"

"We don't know what a field is and we're trying to explain magnetism"

It's an effect of the dielectric field. Like gravity or radiation or any other field phenomena.

Feynman lectures are aimed at a different audience. It's like taking his "QED: Strange Theory of Light and Matter" and complain about how it lacks mathematical rigor of Peskin and Schroeder.

There are no electric or magnetic fields, there is one field. Due to the relativity and length contraction, the effects of an (almost) purely "electric" field are distorted to look like what is called the effect of a "magnetic" field. This is explained in any proper undergrad course on E&M.
