Indulgence Alert! If you like learning, academics, language, logic, etc., this lengthy Origins podcast interview with Stephen Fry is inspiring. You don't even have to listen to it all at once or even in its entirety (it is ridiculously long, after all), to come away with meaningful food for thought. I have been aware of Fry as an important thinker for a few years, and I just continue to be increasingly impressed by him the more I hear from him, whether by virtue of his compelling arguments for secularism and free thought, or lgbtq rights, or language, or history, this interview demonstrates what he discovered, which was whatever one's personal weaknesses in particular learning disciplines, whether one is more of a language person or a math and science person or inclined toward the arts, we can still arrive at meaningul appreciation for all sorts of knowledge and learning disciplines by indulging our own curiosity and embracing the goal of connecting the dots. He is a huge inspiration to me and, I think, should be to anyone who embraces the values of secular humanism.
