Stephen Fry let slip to the Guardian that he wanted to interview the author Malcolm Gladwell, so we arranged for them to meet. The duo discuss dyslexia among CEOs, bipolarity among high-fliers, how adversity creates character and Gladwell answers questions from Comment is free readersMalcolm Gladwell's new book on how underdogs sometimes succeed, David and Goliath, is published by Allen Lane. He will be live in London on 28 Oct (with special guests The Staves), Liverpool on 30 Oct and Dublin on 1 Nov. More details here
What an amazing quote of G B Shaw: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." I love it, Stephen Fry!!
What a wonderful conversation from two of my favorite people!
I wish these kinds of interviews were more celebrated than the usual pop culture. We need really smart people interviewing really smart people. I wish this were an hour long.
Thanks!
Gladwell and Fry, the joy of thinking personified :-)
Two of my favorite people in a room together. Thanks for posting.
Hey, I was going to post the very same thing! Isn’t wonderful to hear these two chat about such amazing topics?
Two of my Favorite Intellects! What a treat and Thanks for posting :)
Sorry, Malcolm, you are definitely an "amazing thinker". We need more people like you!!
A superb interview.
4:01 when i saw the glasses, i had to replay it to make sure i was seeing it right
Love myself some Malcolm Gladwell.
The advantage of disadvantages. I like this interview very much. Thanks for posting.
so cutting edge....Thank you
ripe fruit of a stunning exchange
Dear Mr. Fry, thank you for your use of language!
My two favorite people
7:46 - Fry mentions Feynman!
"..refuse to take that conventional notion that because they're underdog they have to play dead..." this is why I always enjoy listening to Gladwell.
How does this have less than 10K views?
***** b/c intellectual dialogue isn't the kind of refuge that most people seek or yearn for...videos of puppies, boobs and butts, fights, accidents and celebrities; that's what they want. Nothin' wrong with that too
+Raissa Teta I put the blinders on for most things except for kittens. The world needs more kittens ... !
Because people prefer to watch C-list celebrities take hot sauce challenges.
The beard is repulsive.
@@densmorde4520 that's a bit intense?!. Maybe awareness how often Fry is touching his nose/beard is disturbing.. Even pre Covid times... Very disturbing especially because its accompanied by drop of volume/swallowing his words.
Oh goodness no. The beard is UN-ACCEPTABLE. If Gladwell had one - some horrible genius beard duel - it'd all be over for intellectual sitdowns!
Thx for the upload Guardian. D.A. NYC
alas, yes
what's with the sound? Come on Guardian
I wish Steven Fry would annunciate better.
I'm sure he wishes you would spell better..
U of Michigan. . It is estimated that between 5-10% of the population has dyslexia, but this number can also be as high as 17%.
Cf 30% as quoted
I have no point here, just the bit of research.
Wait! Who is interviewing whom?
Right?!
Utopia spawns few warriors, Myopia spawns few long distance runners....
Gladwell has some fascinating ideas but the concept of taking two seemingly disparate fields and melding them together to make a cogent argument was originally perfected by the great James Burke.
+Steve Veasey are you English?
Tej DIvadkar
Yes..
haha Knew it
James Burke was hardly unique in that. What you describe is fundamental to all creative thinking and artistic activity.
You could also look into social network theory (especially the concept structural holes) or into the way in which the philosophy of science has developed. To get a grib on some terminology and historical that will clarify a great deal.
Thinkers
Who cares that these guys met.
I want SO much more of these two together. Two INCREDIBLE minds!
