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!!

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.
