I found a lot to take with me in this short clip. Both Stephen Fry’s idea that the power to walk away is a great thing, and perhaps even more his thoughts about the internet. I’ve certainly not been as naïve as many, but certainly, I’ve never been quite cautious enough. And truly, disruption I do also find to be quite negative, unfortunately. The breaking down of old hindrances and ways isn’t necessarily bad, but in this case, it was, as Mr Fry points out, down for the wrong reasons. Mere money and destruction, rather than true wealth and creation.

“The Darkest Word of Our Era is Disruption.”
