so beautifully astounding! being six month older than Stephen, i recognized in his grasping words the same intensity of feeling as a lonely 15 year old when walking across/through a deep snowy field with a vast sky of stars above, carrying shelves of books read, and a recognition of the majesty of the experience...that peregrination on that crystalline evening remains as a memory of feeling, thought and visual etching in my mind ...i would wish such perfection of experience on everyone
According to facts presented on QI Stephen's younger self is right because over a 7 to 8 year period all our cells are replaced by slightly less efficient versions so by 67 he's a substantially crapper version of himself.

Stephen Fry. Most intelligent man in Britain 💖
My word! A fifteen-year-old Stephen was more intelligent and reasoned more cogently than some people now standing at the head of governments.
