Interview with Stephen Fry: An intelligent mind

Stephen Fry is regarded as one of the UK's brightest brains. He's a prolific writer and actor who can apply his shrewd analysis and razor-sharp wit to just about any subject. So how does he keep his mind curious?

In this interview, Stephen Fry shares his thoughts on intelligence of every shade - cognitive, mathematical, poetic - down to the very tautology of the word, and where he falls on the nature-nurture divide.

We talk about:
Whether upbringing shapes our future intelligence
The difference between intelligence and wisdom
The privilege of not-knowing and the Dunning–Kruger effec
How our attitude to learning can impact our intelligence
