Intelligence with Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry is regarded as one of the UK's brightest brains. He's a prolific writer and actor who can apply his shrewd analysis and razor-sharp wit to just about any subject. So how does he keep his mind curious? 

On today's Braincare Podcast, Stephen shares his thoughts on intelligence of every shade - cognitive, mathematical, poetic - down to the very tautology of the word, and where he falls on the nature-nurture divide. 

We talk about:

• Whether upbringing shapes our future intelligence 
• The difference between intelligence and wisdom
• The privilege of not-knowing and the Dunning–Kruger effect
• How our attitude to learning can impact our intelligence
