I'm German and my English hasn't been good for the most of time because there weren't much opportunities to practice. Than I've been ill for a very, very long time and I've been unable to do anything but watching and listening KZbin etc. My English improved and now I'm able to listen and understand(!) Stephen Fry talking and right now I'm very happy about that!😎

Too true, but then he defends this thing that policy, advertising, and free flow of information is and has directly been impacted by this radical vocal minority. Which I find very odd, given that he *is and has been outspoken against political correctness, which is precisely what the social media mobs enforce and congregate in.

I've watched a few of these and I've just realised why I enjoy these shows so much: it's actually the chat show format which used to be on tv 50 odd years ago ( eg Parkinson in the UK and Cavett in the USA) where the host allows interesting people to speak without feeling the need to perform themself ( eg Kimmel/ Norton). It also helps that the guests come from a variety of professional backgrounds and are genuinely interesting and not mostly actors who are barely coherent without a script.

Being an effective chat show host requires a very special skill and absence of narcissism that enables them to encourage and allow the interesting guests to talk and take the conversation on unanticipated paths. I've not seen this fella before, but he seems to have that skill. Mind you, once Stephen starts talking it can be difficult to stop him. Not that I'm complaining. I could listen to him all day. Hosts like Graham Norton, who I find entertaining, for the most part don't have intelligent guests. They have 'celebrities' whose sole purpose is to promote their latest 'whatever'. There's no point encouraging, allowing or expecting any unanticipated intelligent or even informative discussion from them.

Stephen Fry has long been one of my favourite people but I want to make two other observations. First, it is great to see an interviewer who asks quick but interesting questions and then keeps quiet to let people answer. Secondly, as an Englishman it is both amazing and shaming to me to see a foreign TV show where people speak such excellent English. You would search for a long time to find anyone in England with such a grasp of other languages.

I live in Australia (originally from UK) and reasonably well travelled. Not as much as some but just enough to hear those who's first language is something other than English actually speak English far better than a lot of English people. It's a national embarrassment where not only are the various dialects not in keeping with English at an international standard, but the degree of 'lazy' speech that arbitrarily removes letters and fuses two or three word to make one!

Masterclass in how to do an interview! Three fantastic guests, all of which bring laughter and joy with their anecdotes. Stephen Fry is a huge favorite of mine, but now I have three more... The terrific host, Skalvan (I really wish I had known about this show years ago! The internet is a huge place, so I feel lucky to have found my way to these clips) Herman Flesvig (I will be looking for clips of his live standup shows) and while I'm not really a fan of opera, I absolutely enjoyed Marianne Mörck's candor and humor. And above all, who wouldn't want to have Stephen teach them how to tie a .. tie? I still can't bloody do it!

What I wonder on this subject is if MR. Fry would have such a profound insight on the human nature without experiencing the darkest side of life. I guess he would have, having lived so many lifes through reading, but still. But the thing I admire the most is his dominion of the word, to the extent that he can express what he feels in a way that we can understand him and incorporate those experiences to our life. FYI: English is not my native language so I apologize if there are grammar/semantic mistakes. Greetings from Argentina.

So wise Stephen Fry as per usual, I could listen to this man all day and night. "social media is a lavatory wall" spot on, Social media does not represent society as a whole, One of the major problems with social media is those who use it seem to think it is representational of everything they think do and say. I left social media and it improved my life so much

He's right in the sense of it as being largely uninformed or partisan nonsense, but it misses the huge impact on society of everyone getting their news through social media channels, which control the flow of the information people are permitted to see, hear, and share.

There have never been too many raconteurs in my experience. Fry, David Niven, Peter Ustinov, Kenneth Williams at a push, but other than them there isn't that many that I am aware of. They spring up occasionally and there will be more in future. Whether the format is there as a platform for them or not is another issue.

You can go wrong taking him seriously. "The humanist view of the meaning of life is different. Humanists do not see that there is any obvious purpose to the universe, but that it is a natural phenomenon with no design behind it. Meaning is not something out there, waiting to be discovered, but something we create in our own lives." Stephen Fry Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. Life only comes from life. Law of biogenesis.

It would've taken me hours of preparation to talk on any specific topic with a hundredth of the skill that he can just pull out conversationally without a second thought.

I think he's a little off on that description, or at least a little one-dimensional. I take his point that social media is predominantly pointless ramblings with little function, so in that sense he's certainly correct, but it misses the point that most people get their news and political opinions directly through social media channels, which makes it an extremely influential arena with wide ranging impacts in the real world. If a scientist is banned from social media for disagreeing with establishment ideas (which is an act that is the specific purview of a scientist), if a lie is perpetuated by spread on Facebook, or an ugly political truth hidden by censorship on Twitter, those are hugely impactful acts which can radically shape a society by controlling the flow of information.

His description of learning to use one's wits to avoid being beaten up really resonates with me. I grew up a fat, nerdy, non-Mormon in Salt Lake City, Utah. In other words, I was Bully Bait. Eventually, through a love of reading, film and...most of all...music, I developed developed a relationship with language that enabled a Cyrano-like defense. Bullies are far less likely to target you, if you can make them laugh...even at your own expense. I also loved his observation about how it's only right that young people should want to change the world to suit _their_ wishes since _they_ are the people who will have to _live_ in it after we're gone. When he puts it like that, I think of somebody who is to inherit a house. Why shouldn't they at least start _talking about_ what they intend to do with, making plans for the future. It has been said that, "Tradition is peer pressure from dead people." Once we _move out,_ it's _their_ house to do with as _they_ see fit. P.S. In junior high school, my dad taught me to tie a Double Windsor (AKA: Full Windsor), and it has been my "go to" ever since.

Stephen Fry is such a wonderful raconteur. I just wonder whether, as someone who suffers from Bipolar Disorder, he was a little manic here, barely pausing for breath. He’s always full of great stories and is so entertaining. He’s also been so candid about his mental illness. He’s skipping so quickly from idea to idea, he’s describing exactly the hyper state that he dreaded because he knew it would be followed by a depressive low. I admire his honesty and courage in opening up about this ‘vulnerability’ even more than his god-given wit.

Thank you so much for such an insightful interview with Stephen Fry. I have long admired and adored him on so many levels. I was quite taken with what he said about forgiveness. He manages to forgive others, but still struggles to forgive himself. I see this so often in the world, and used to struggle with self-forgiveness myself, but not any more. I also enjoyed thoroughly what he had to say about religious language. Forgiveness releases you temporarily. You can breathe easy now. You have just eliminated one enemy from your life. That produces a great relief. So, forgiveness always produces a relief, and with relief you are able to see the situation differently. It is not threatening to you now. If it is ridiculous, it does not matter. Life here is ridiculous! That is why you have come." From a free online book called Wisdom from the Greater Community I also would love to hear what Mr. Fry would have to say about the religious language from The New Message from God. I have never come across anything like it in my life. His view would be absolutely fascinating.

I was (like so many ppl) picked on at school, too. I remember being so tired of being called "stupid" that I came home and began reading all the encyclopædiæ one day. Then I met people who spoke different languages, so got paranoid and began learning languages too. 34 years later, I'm an English teacher, writer, polyglot, and a source of ridiculous info, such as biology of Tasmanian devils, Medieval medical practices and how to make taffy😖 I think this is why Stephen Fry is my hero. Another person dedicated to language and knowledge❤

Amen, and amen. I was picked upon but after ignoring threats I punched the lights out of my aggressor, and no trouble after that. Learning is amazing, and when I left school I had read all the library books in the school, and the village library, and still eclectic in reading, which is the greatest piece of exercise anyone can do, but few actually do, and in Stephen Fry I notice a fellow student in the way he speaks, whilst being down to earth, the practical, and not like some of the fine speakers that are dished up to us in parliament

Aside from the being made fun of at school (he never said this way or that), you sound a lot like my father, who claims he can't learn languages and then reads news in Latvian to me and expects me to understand. :D He can also give out info on all sorts of subjects. You'd think, from the surface, that he's all about natural sciences; and then he goes and tells you all about a 19th century architect you'd never heard of before, and you find out he's seen a number of his creations in out-of-way places already. That sort of thing. I'd be interested in the Tasmanian devils. ;-)

@@beth12svist wow I've been to Latvia but used Russian while there. It's such a cool language😍 but there's just not enough time. Does your dad plan trips around seeing these creations? I found a site for locating artists which helps me stalk them on travels. I need someone like that in my life because (un)surprisingly, not many people want to discuss these things but at least I found a Tasmanian Devil fan!

@@amysanchez3699 He speaks Russian in Latvia as well - his Latvian is more passive than active. Still, he just soaks up languages like a sponge and then reads things in them! I'm honestly not sure how he does any of it - but a lot of it is Wikipedia these days. The Prague Zoo has new Tasmanian devils, they "unveiled" them during the lockdowns and I've been watching their videos of them. :-) I don't know much about them but I got curious!
