Frankly, whatever you think of what Stephen Fry says, my favourite quote of his, from an episode of QI, is "Don't do anything because I tell you to... or tell you not to... um... live your own lives!"
But at least science admits it doesn't know something and is always searching for new answers. Religion for example does none of those and causes a lot of harm. If I had to worship either science or religion it would be the former every time
Stephen sounds good until he spouts off crap about how brilliant us humans are and if anybody believes anything other than science they are dumb, when in fact most human beliefs including science should be taken with a pinch of salt, humans are just dreamers, yes we have some fancy technology but in the end it all means nothing in the bigger picture, and Stephen, scientists have to agree, that the Universe, is MAGIC!
I envy his optimism, his charm, his intellect, DAMN IT I WAS THE COOL KID! I USED TO THINK HE WAS TOFFEE-NOSED AND REPULSIVE!! (what was I thinking?) beautiful beautiful Stephen Fry
Ha... I'm Australian, I never thought I did that question intonation thing, but then I started talking to some Americans and often when I made statements they would take it as a question.
The thing about "ransacking" other cultures for New Age is that it makes a certain amount of sense. If all religions approach the true divine from a different but meaningful direction, then the closest one can get to enlightenment would be through mixing them in an intelligent way to create an optimal blend. Of course, this doesn't work if you just take all the stuff that works best in a shop window.
@LeeEnfeild303 They've been on Just a Minute together a lot since then and there never seems to be any friction. Stephen made it clear that he was angry at the show's producers, the BBC and the tabloid media for Angus' sacking. He has never had a go at Hislop or Merton and he would probably have voiced his objections if he had a problem with their conduct, especially as he was the original favourite to replace Angus and was asked about it a lot at the time.
My parents, and the grandparents that I knew, were also of irish descent lesterclaypool1. My granpa would always walk next to the curb, whenever he and grandma were walking down the street. I asked about this one day and he did that to protect grandma from the detitrus that would be kicked up from horses hooves and the wheels of passing carts. Did you ever see men take off their caps whenever a hearse went by?
True enough, lesterclaypool1. Neighbours could see the white sheets/curtains in the windows during the day and wouldnt visit until they were removed. ( and they usually brought bikkies and flowers! :) Considering that mourning for the dead isn't a spectator sport, it also gave the needed privacy for friends and family to grieve and, console themselves that life goes on. Not that this little digression has anything to do with Stephen Fry's portrait on a plate! Thanks for answers, Silicon.
Interesting reply, lesterclaypool1, I had always thought it was because the colour seen from outside the house was white, symbolic of mourning. This included the covering of windows with white sheets. There is also something very old fashioned my grandma used to do which was keep the curtains shut for exactly three days, after a loved one had died. I vaguely remember it was to keep the soul out of the house so it wouldn't come home to roost with it's friends or family.
@6991lekaj manic depression is cyclical - episodes of "mania" accompany the depression. Manic depression doesn't just mean you get really really depressed. So it's possible to be an optimist and a manic depressive. I'm sure you knew that but I just wanted to clarify the point for others who read this. :)
Sorry Stephen, i'm a big fan but you failed on your point about 'energy'. Quantum physics has only recently discovered that everything in existence is actually energy vibrating at certain frequencies - something that shamans and mystics have known for thousands of years.
@pwnXD I am a great admirer of Stephen Fry but Richard Dawkins published the Selfish Gene in 1976 when Stephen Fry was busy in jail for credit card fraud. Hitchens wrote his first leading article for the New Statesman when Fry was only 15 years old. If I have misunderstood perhaps you will let me know.
It grabbed the attention of me, the employer. It was good to see someone who thought differently. I interviewed them based on this. I'd love to see your CV. Id imagine its exaaaactly the same as everyone else's. Textspeak is shorthand, but is shorthand a 'lesser' way to speaking, or writing? Applications in speech? What kind of dullard thinks language is purely functional? 'NO-ONE speaks in shorthand? So wordsworth and austen are no-one? Or journalists? Or the youth generation? Or the military?
To counter your, in my opinion, ridiculous and non sensical argument - I'd like to point out that Jane Austen, Wordsworth and Lord Byron all spoke in 'text speak'. Also I have seen one of the best CVs ever, produced in text speak. It simply said 'oi, giz a job?' It was a wonderful reference to boys from the black stuff (i assume), and a comment at todays current reccession and job shortage. It was also quite refreshing. You might say it was a post modern take on the classic CV. Thats evolution.
ahhh, that old classic. exams are getting easier, tests simpler, nothing like the good old days huh? What im saying is that the way in which people speak has to evolve. AQI is very irritating, but you're pretty dense and deaf to language development if you really believe that it shows a lack of 'speech ability' (or perhaps, if you're putting it properly 'ability to speak'). Much in the same way if you really believe people who swear alot are demonstrating a lack of vocabulary.
Continuing from my last comment, the therapies that do work can be explained by the placebo effect. Also, saying science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever horseshit you want. Finally, on the point that 'unexplainable' events occur, the actual point is that they can. Merton's psychic phone call is just a matter of statistics and probability. Its just like a lottery; at some point someone has to win it.
The point I was trying to make was that I don't care what people believe, as long as that belief is genuine and isn't disrespecting anyone else. Fry was commenting on how many in the "New Age" craze are just really following the fad spiritual path(like the Eastern religion fad of the 60's) They don't actually believe these things and they are only offending true practitioners in whatever mysticisms/spiritual beliefs they are stealing from.
"my spleen isn't really big enough to explode with spleenic juices of fury" God bless Stephen Fry. I especially love him when he got into the New Age movement's bastardization of different ethic cultures within genuine belief. It just pisses me off seeing hollow people claiming to NewAgeDruidicWiccanNativeAmericanIndianVodouBuddhist-whatever belief systems, thinking they can just pick and choose an assortment of different beliefs to make them feel spiritual.
I saw Stephen Fry in America recently. He went to visit a hippy sot of guy who lived in a nuclear bunker, when the hippy started talking about "bad energy in the room" you could see Stephens face drop. lol.
i love dream catchers they are really beautiful things...i don't believe or dispute them but ....well i haven't had a bad dream for almost 15 years. with or without one :S so they are pretty pointless for me at least
@zeomatrix3 There are plenty of folk his caliber and higher, they are kept as far from the 'masses' as possible as there is such a desperate reliance and dependence on keeping people dumb, distracted and needy because smart people: Wont buy shit they don't need, At prices they can't afford From people they don't like..... :D
Iam afraid to say it seems i suffer with AQI, a few months ago my dad asked why my sentences always went up at the end, i was not even aware of it till he mentioned it, and now Sir Fry has spoken about it, i feel paranoid!! Iam however a massive Buffy fan so maybe that could be the cause (note: iam also 29)
haha. fry and laurie both are geniuses!! although they do posses a diff different kind of genius. and omg! lol.. on QI he's alwaysssss making gay remarks.. especially to alan! haha. actually, the time he tried to act straight and talk to Jo Brand about her "fun bags" (as he called them).. that was hilarious! haha.
I definitely wouldnt say the most logical person alive but probs the most intellectual comedian on British Television. Not just intellectual, witty and just generally a very funny and interesting bloke. Actually only recently realised he was homosexual from a comment he made in one of the episodes of QI.
@LeeEnfeild303 He didn't come on the show in the first place because he and Paul were friends, he did it because he's a comedian and tv personality and it's his job. I'm sure if he didn't like Paul (which he have no way of knowing), he could be professional with him.
that was my impulse response to somebody else's: 'If I could invite six famous people to a dinner party, Stephen would be top of my list. Sheer genius!!' - i thought it would appear beside the other one. i reckon one (1) Stephen Fry is enough to make one happy though. peace
I hate "AQI" as much as Stephen! First time over in that country as a student, I thought it sounded as if there was a "Do you understand what I'm saying?" implied in every sentence, which was a bit insulting. Just because I'm a foreigner doesn't mean I'm a complete idiot, I wanted to reply.
Ironic that Stephen would go on to host a show with the same initials as Question Intonation. (I don't think of it as 'Aus QI' given that it's been a global trend for some time now.)
@bobokk As an Australian, I am both deeply sorry for AQI, and determined to stamp it out. It isn't as prevalent as it was, though. Mostly in the lower socio-economic classes. You just wait til you hear our Prime Minister speak. Yee gads.
Someone at my school did their whole speech to become school captain with that AQI. It was so annoying. Luckily they didn't get the position! BTW I'm Australian and I don't speak like that. It really annoys me when people do >:(
He's got the New Age bullshit sussed. Also astrology. I detest those people (usually womeh) who within a few minutes of conversation ask. "What's your starsign?" There's a great book called "How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered The World" by Frances Wheen.
Do people still knock at the door of someone's house they are visiting? lesterclaypool1. I've heard it is customary in some countrys to just walk straight in.
i doubt it i haven't had one for the last 4 months and haven't had any bad dreams, i do practice lucid dreaming so that might have something to do with it.
haha, lol, dream catchers! I had TWO of them at parents' house and I kept them over my bed. but I didn't believe in them doing anything, just I made them in crafts activities and I couldn't bare to toss them out.
Being really picky - it was written in 1944, proof-read in 1948 and published in 1949. I know, it's fussy. I guess the name was set in the year it was proof-read and getting ready to be published. Sorry to be a pain.
@MiG2880 sorry, but the testable science of string theory is a million miles from the "positive" and "negative" energy that shamans and mystics refer to.
The Australian inflection is (to my ear) the same as Irish and Scots, probably due to the large number of immigrants from those places. New Zealand too.
Intelligence is knowledge and the ability to absorb new knowledge, and intellect is common sense and reasoning. I thought about this, then googled it to make sure. I was quite surprised :)
You should see a skit he and Hugh Laurie did making fun of Aussie soap operas...Their accents were pretty dead on and that accent (my accent, in fact) is notoriously hard to do.
Whoever marked me down, why? Obviously it could very well have been spurting himslef, if so well, that doesn't matter. If it's someone esle, yeah, I was being a bit childish XD
The unintelligent and inarticulate people in Australia speak like that but not everyone of course. It is annoying to everyone, including Australians such as myself =p.
Totally agree with him on AQI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was just me that it pissed off! My girlfirend started doing it and it was the most annoying thing ever!!!!!!!!!
You would traditionally find Jade Goody good televisual entertainment, then? (I'm not proposing you would, but there we are. Just a slightly odd comment, I thought.)
Now calling them unintelligent is harsh, i dont talk like that but i know a friend with a rough upbringing who talks like that but he's exceptionally intelligent
If you watch Stephen on "Who do you think you are". You can see the room 101 plate on the wall of his Mums house, which I think is really cute that he kept it :-)
Can anyone explain why Stephen was refering to creation in this interview a few times? surely its a joke as he is so publicly anti- theology these days?

"No, they've all got to-oh Goddamn, no I'll keep it."
Haha!
i miss room 101 with merton. it was comforting.
"Splenetic juices of fury" Stephen has just wonderful use of language XD
The Arbiter of Parlance!
"Splenetic Juices of Fury". Marvellous use of the English language there.
I really must use that fantastic phrase more in everyday conversation.
A young George Galloway "being savagely rammed by someone who dropped sand in the Vaseline"....
Such a lovely thought.
A QI, good name for a programme, and quite interesting.
Also thought that was quite apt ... Also given that I believe that this was broadcast before the show started ..
"Wha- Eeee- Wha-" Best Stephen Fry quote. 5:22
Science didn't bring you television and lighting. Engineering did!
well said
If I could invite six famous people to a dinner party, Stephen would be top of my list. Sheer genius!!
Alex Chiu really is insane, he has a website that it is crammed with bullshit.
But at least science admits it doesn't know something and is always searching for new answers. Religion for example does none of those and causes a lot of harm. If I had to worship either science or religion it would be the former every time

I agree with very word that he says. Thankfully, I never caught the AQI virus.
Or covid...hopefully?

@guitarreilly i really wish you wouldn't say that.... he is not a national treasure or a gift to Britain. He is a gift to the whole world.
Isn't it ironic that the initials "AQI" were nominated, yet less than a year after this was made, Stephen was fronting a show called "QI"!
The unintelligent and inarticulate people in Australia speak like that but not everyone of course. It is annoying to everyone, including Australians such as myself =p.
Totally agree with him on AQI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was just me that it pissed off! My girlfirend started doing it and it was the most annoying thing ever!!!!!!!!!

(I'm not proposing you would, but there we are. Just a slightly odd comment, I thought.)
Which only proves how good you are of stealing and taking advantage of (admittedly quite gullible) people. What an achievement(!)
Now calling them unintelligent is harsh, i dont talk like that but i know a friend with a rough upbringing who talks like that but he's exceptionally intelligent
If you watch Stephen on "Who do you think you are". You can see the room 101 plate on the wall of his Mums house, which I think is really cute that he kept it :-)
Fry has good taste. I agree with him on the New Age stuff - it is only about money and has no real substance; 'vile fakery'!
@AtheistBrit
Actually, in my original comment I was referring to the double slit experiment and the discovery it yielded.
Can anyone explain why Stephen was refering to creation in this interview a few times? surely its a joke as he is so publicly anti- theology these days?
The host is very smart and funny but I can't even picture him now down here at the bottom of the page. He has an anonymous face unfortunately for him.
thing is though , as intellegent as stephen fry is (and that is very) paul manages to keep him in check more or less. I think that works very well.
@hinkyponky I think I want to hug you. How can we stop X Factor? It is mindless bile for the Starbucks generation.
More people like you, please!
he hates the sunny delight generation who were under the age of 20 in 2001. His current boyfriend was 16 in 2001. Much hindsight lols. love this!
YES, about the AQI thing, I myself have only just reached my 21st year, and have been wanting to punch my peers for it almost my entire life.
3:15 Science is the ability of millions of men to watch one man, Religion is the ability of one man to watch millions.
It's cute how an internet comment can make you feel so insecure you felt you had to comment something spiteful and childish like that.
In that case it will have to be a community with the goal of promoting hand punching as a positive way forward for society.. :)
@ukulazy Have you ever noticed how people from the republic of Ireland do the opposite, i.e. down at the end of every sentence?
Stephen Fry - I want to marry you and have your babies. I know this would be more pleasant for me than for you....but I loves ya xxxx
They're also really effective as homemade condoms; no part of you will ever enter a girl as long as you've got one of those around.
I have never accepted the whole whatever business, but like a lot of other things, Stephen just made it really cool to say it.
does he have a quotations book or something similar? i know that kind of thing isnt really stephen but damn he could sell a lot
I think AQI is another way of adding a question to your statements. A kind of verbal short-hand for "You know what I mean?".
But that would make it sound like a bad thing. I haven't found a more satisfying way of expressing my dislike for things.
What I heard is that they have already finished the filming for the next series, their now waiting for when to put it on.
I'm glad I don't talk with Australian Question intonation?
That would be completely stupid?
I don't watch 'Neighbours?'
@marcohorowitz8
i heard that his dad was a particle physicist .... not up to scratch there .....
I don't like this program because it turns nice people into people who complain about everything...
Just sat watching the dolphin loony do this thing thinking "Two questions: what is he smoking, and can I have some?"
i use it. im young. i enjoy talking that way. i have a degree in english language. your point proves nothing. the end.
Fucking hell I'm part of the Sunny delight generation! But I can honestly say I haven't inherited AQI thank goodness!
@vanillalatteblended They weren't in China, they were in LEEDS. And it's a stupid thing to be taboo in any case.
there's many of us left, there are loads in the North that haven't yet been engulfed by the obscenity that is AQI.
9.09 to 9.12 paul merton is the exact same laugh 3 times!!!!!!!!!!then he tried to replicate at 9.30!!! hahaha
if this stuff is bollocks then its bollocks for people of any country, to say there is a difference is racist.
Damn i'm just blown away by this guys smartness and way with words. He makes me feel even more like an idiot.
i love his speech on why collectors plates are crap, any then just changes it automaticlly
great quote....'so anti-science'. True, too many movements today are against development and humanity.
@MiG2880 Quantum physics is still largly unproven yet and competes with string theory among others.
I think you're probably right. It's all psychological; a mental protection against perceived evil.
