Its one of life's irony's that Fry, an atheist, espouses more Christian principals and benevolence than most theological practioners, brilliant speaker.
@midcitygym this sounds honestly buddhist more than anything; the detachment from goals, desires, etc leading to bliss and contentment with reality. Though I don't think any philosophy really says to not have goals all together, but not to be emotionally attached to such ideas.
@Silver44Guy are you a retard? like an actual handicap person?
I would say you are if you really think you are smarter than him, what the fuck have you achieved in your life with goal setting, or in general at all? lol
I'm straight, and Stephen Fry is the only man I'd allow to sodomize me. Anyone who disagrees and just thinks I'm a secret gay, obviously isn't familiar with the sheer awesome that is Stephen Fry.
@CAMERABOI A brave comment and one that I totally understand.
I have spoken with Stephen at his worst and watched him at his best.
I love the man.
He has all the answers of a wonderful future for the human race whilst also having a compendium of knowledge of the past. But still allows us to judge for ourselves and grow at our own pace - without becoming impatient or pushy.
@petecockcroft Yeah, I've been a fan of Fry's for a few years now and I'll just found out about the "worst times". In a weird saddistic way it's made me a bigger fan because I can relate and understand. (that's probably what tipped him over the line to be eligible for "sodomizing" lol) Next time you speak with him, send him back to Sydney!
Terrible advice for somebody like me, who hates working and wishes a giant rock would soar through space and crash into the planet, killing this sick species. I'm trying though.
I have watched countless episodes of QI, I try to like him, but to me he is just abrasive. I thought it might just be the basic difference between the English and Americans but I like a lot of English actors and comedians. Without a cadre of writers he also fails to display the brilliance everyone seems to give him credit for.
@thebigdawg61 I suppose that's the thing about taste, everyone is entitled to their own preferences. I can understand why you'd think that way, but you'll find that anyone willing to given their views on things will be disliked by some, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's just human nature.
My wife had a bad headache and started complaining, I said "Oh Christ, I am sure it is terrible for you, dear, but shut up." Now I have no girlfriend... Thanks
im introverted and i always will be, the same as steven fry will always be queer. i have to say that iv found being around people some of the most miserable experiences iv had. i dont want to become extroverted, its something extroverts like to think that we introverts want to be like them, we dont. iv no intent on entering the massive popularity contest that is society, iv found in life that the most popular people are normally the biggest arseholes, i enjoy being creative painting/songwriting
@MCshlthead The same is true for me as well. I'm not terribly outgoing myself, nor do i really want to be. I'd much rather sit on my couch and write and watch youtube videos and stuff than, say, go partying at that hot new club in the city or something like that.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with complete support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
of course it`s good to hear the many similarities in thoughts and attitudes towards different subjects I found with my own whenever I listen to a person as likeable as wonderful Stephen Fry. Thank you.
Setting goals is fine. The problem is WHY we set the goals we set. For instance, if your mom needs surgery but can't afford it, and neither can you afford it, you might set a goal and work hard toward getting enough money to get her the surgery. That is a wholesome goal which I think destiny will support as you work toward it. Problem is we're a bunch of intellectual animals running around setting nothing more than self-centered, egotistical goals. There is little love in our daily motivations.
Why does stephen fry care so much about being liked,
life isn't about being like life is about living, being nice to each other,
some people are introvert some extrovert, we all have different opinions that's what makes it fun, why just do things to be liked
watching this makes people feel 10 again Oh OH no people won't like me.
he did say a few great things and one was definitely talk to more people and be nice to each other and the more people you talk to the more you get out of life :)
@fairandjustified The only way to truly mirror yourself is in others. Seeking happiness through others is the greatest accomplishment one can hope to achieve on a basic level.
@arsbroct I agree, with that, although to feel strong in ones own mind with wisdom, which one can share with others as a leader and a equal all at once, comes from the ability to know ones self entirely and to know ones self entirely while being able to share ones self with others is also one of the greatest things a human being can achieve, thank you for your inspirational comment :)
@fairandjustified But how does one truly get to know oneself? Finding ones self comes from reflecting on ones experiences through interaction with others. The more you allow yourself to interact, the greater will your personal experience be, so that you may learn from it.
@arsbroct while conversing and stimulating the mind with speech, the interactive outer senses are provoked in to responding to stimulation with another human being, while the inner being is also engaged in this interaction at a responding and engaging level, the inner being the higher self is seldom engaged in that situation.
although often is the case, while a human becomes solitary, does the mind, soul and spirit become engaged, while thought and extra sensory, fulfillment begins to take shape
@fairandjustified I was not implying the reflection is simultaneous to the experience itself, but from processing the experience, you may learn from it. Solitude can only teach you things based on the experiences you already have. This is the truth.
@arsbroct try and meditate for a while, opening the penial gland the third eye, meditation opens the higher senses, while meditating you will find much more then you ever though existed
we as humans are forced to exept stimuli from external influence, much as exploration of space ignores the exceptional secret hidden places on earth, so does mans ability to ignore its inner self while experiencing external influence.
while exploring as an individual, great hidden worlds will appear :)
@fairandjustified What I said is still true. You cannot meditate on the significance of being, without a canvas to explore, or a contrast to discover. A child who is born in darkness shall only know darkness.
Lol this was an epic rant. I think everybody realizes at one point in life that life is about the journey not the destination. After all, the ultimate destination is death. It's hard to realize this but as long as you have the basic necessities to be happy it comes down to enjoying the moment.
There, now read my post if you can't be bothered listening to this middle aged rant because that's all he's really saying. I'm 18 and I've only recently realized this but it really helps.
4:40 This from a man who updates his life every five minutes on Twitter? Isn't 'Tweeting' one of the most egocentric and self-important activities one can engage in? Tell me, what is the root for 'hypocritical'?
@chairpersonmeow i think he does inform and share his knowledge by tweeting, more then being an egocentric " I ".i personally dont know whats in his heart to judge him ,but its very correct what he said.
"the worst thing you can do is set yourself goals" GOSH is that true and i wish i was told this years ago when i was young (instead of the exact opposite again&again), would have saved myself a lot of grief
he's just so wonderful ! smart and funny and insightful -- was PERFECT as Oscar Wilde-- wouldn't it be great if our political leaders were men like him?
hmmmmm i think steve is wrong here about this friend thing. i know of many horrible people who are very very popular and many nice good hearted people who havent got 2 friends to rub together.
@MCshlthead yes but the "popular" people you speak of are simply people surrounded by others that yearn to be like that person. people simply with a mentality that looks up to the alpha male or woman, and make it their goal to EG be adored, have money, popular with the opposite sex etc.
You called him out on it? What did he say? Your self important delusions are sad.
Ill-informed: you said he was born into a very rich family; he wasn't. You said he spent his youth in jail; he didn't. You demonise him for having been fat (he isn't now); that's incredibly ignorant. He hasn't used drugs for decades. And to call one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable people on the planet "dumb" is too stupid for words.
@queenastilon His teenage years: getting beaten up at boarding school. He knows the real world. If you read a few of his books or watch some of his documentaries - about AIDS victims in the poorest regions of Africa, for instance - you would find out a little of what he knows.
It is well known that he is kind to a fault.
What he says about goals is known. Even Jesus said we should have no care for the morrow.
You trolls: nasty bugs in the otherwise glorious salad that is the Internet.
All this talk as if Fry is some thug who won the jackpot. If he was innately odious he'd still be a criminal. This is clearly a case of a troubled (and to a certain extent oppressed) but talented young man, discovering a means of creativity and self expression. Once he mixed with similarly high functioning individuals surrounded by a vast archive of knowledge to stimulate him, he became hooked on good honest work. It means with lots of dedication and a bit of luck, you can turn your life around.
@Zarimus well, I'm not sure most people watching this can relate to a spoiled teenage criminal who was born into a very rich family and became an actor celebrity, I'm sure he can give good advice how to cope with a horrible, horrible life like his to the whole dozen people it affects, but other than that ...
@pinochet222 You mean the bipolar homosexual who grew up in a time where neither bipolarity nor homosexuality was socially acceptable? No, his life was probably a dance on roses.... And if you have seen this entire segment and actually listened, it should be apparent to you that his attitude towards money and fame is nothing like the spoiled brat you make him out to be.
@Midnyte100 Let's also throw in Jew and grandson of immigrants, neither of which won him any popularity contests growing up. I think pinochet222 completely misunderstands Stephen's early life if he thinks it was easy being so much the outsider in the 1960's and 70's.
@pinochet222 you obviously don't know anything about him, so your opinion is completely invalid and ridiculous. he was struggling with his homosexuality in schools and particularly a time when it was totally frowned upon. he was bipolar and suffered through a lot of depression, i don't see how being brought up well and having a education at notoriously good schools makes you a spoiled teenager.
@pinochet222 To summarise: you make an ill-informed comment and when corrected you accuse those who know a great deal more than you do about the subject of being "incredibly ignorant and completely fucking insane..."
That's a nice demonstration of the expression 'adding insult to injury'. It's a very nasty habit, too. You need to work on that.
@queenastilon How was I ill-informed? Next time a dumb, fat, drug addict celebrity with criminal past preaches about the virtues of living an irresponsible, careless life without goals, I'll call him out on his bullshit again.
Wow, you seem like a very unhappy person. As for Stephen Fry being 'dumb' you really can't be serious..if you are, you know nothing about him and haven't watched his programs, documentaries or read any of his books, or any of his debates. Or even looked into him in the slighest for that matter..
Yes, he used to be a drug addict. Your point being? Many amazing thinkers have been addicts, just look at Sigmund freud, he was a paranoid cocaine addict.
@pinochet222 But even more sadly, this 'pathetic' person by your incredibly imbecilic standards have contributed more joy and life to the world in than you will in a lifetime.
Fry was right (as always) at the time when he said that the long hair made him look like James May's sister. Then again, even if his hair was *something randomly odd* he would still occupy the penthouse in my heart.
I'm amazed how this guy can always recontextualize well-accepted concepts and force me to rethink things I thought I knew. His point about goal-orientation is obviously right--anyone can see that...now; but that had never occurred to me before, and yet it's so important. Also his books are great and he's really funny.

And even though that's only partitially true, steve jobs saved and built the greatest film studio ever: Pixar.

@pinochet222 What exactly about his life would you classify as "not real"? Your hostility to the man is curious.

@Zarimus well, I'm not sure most people watching this can relate to a spoiled teenage criminal who was born into a very rich family and became an actor celebrity, I'm sure he can give good advice how to cope with a horrible, horrible life like his to the whole dozen people it affects, but other than that ...

@pinochet222 You mean the bipolar homosexual who grew up in a time where neither bipolarity nor homosexuality was socially acceptable? No, his life was probably a dance on roses.... And if you have seen this entire segment and actually listened, it should be apparent to you that his attitude towards money and fame is nothing like the spoiled brat you make him out to be.

@Midnyte100 Let's also throw in Jew and grandson of immigrants, neither of which won him any popularity contests growing up. I think pinochet222 completely misunderstands Stephen's early life if he thinks it was easy being so much the outsider in the 1960's and 70's.

@pinochet222 you obviously don't know anything about him, so your opinion is completely invalid and ridiculous. he was struggling with his homosexuality in schools and particularly a time when it was totally frowned upon. he was bipolar and suffered through a lot of depression, i don't see how being brought up well and having a education at notoriously good schools makes you a spoiled teenager.

@raveemaster what do you mean "brought up well"? he had spent his youth in JAIL for credit card theft!
You Fry fanatics are incredibly ignorant and completely fucking insane ...

@pinochet222 He did a 3 month term when he was 18 and foolish, not his entire youth, it´s clear who´s ignorant around here. Moron.

@pinochet222 To summarise: you make an ill-informed comment and when corrected you accuse those who know a great deal more than you do about the subject of being "incredibly ignorant and completely fucking insane..."
That's a nice demonstration of the expression 'adding insult to injury'. It's a very nasty habit, too. You need to work on that.

@queenastilon How was I ill-informed? Next time a dumb, fat, drug addict celebrity with criminal past preaches about the virtues of living an irresponsible, careless life without goals, I'll call him out on his bullshit again.

@pinochet222
Wow, you seem like a very unhappy person. As for Stephen Fry being 'dumb' you really can't be serious..if you are, you know nothing about him and haven't watched his programs, documentaries or read any of his books, or any of his debates. Or even looked into him in the slighest for that matter..
Yes, he used to be a drug addict. Your point being? Many amazing thinkers have been addicts, just look at Sigmund freud, he was a paranoid cocaine addict.

@pinochet222 What do you know about real life ?
Mind making a video to share your wisdom ?

Fry was right (as always) at the time when he said that the long hair made him look like James May's sister. Then again, even if his hair was *something randomly odd* he would still occupy the penthouse in my heart.
That sounded cheesy, but you know what I mean =P

I'm amazed how this guy can always recontextualize well-accepted concepts and force me to rethink things I thought I knew. His point about goal-orientation is obviously right--anyone can see that...now; but that had never occurred to me before, and yet it's so important. Also his books are great and he's really funny.
