Stephen Fry warns that moral certainty can backfire…
Stephen Fry highlights a tension that many of us face: the difference between being right and being effective. He argues that an overemphasis on moral certainty—insisting on correctness, calling out missteps, and shaming others—can often get in the way of actually accomplishing change.
Principles and values remain important, but the way we communicate and act determines how much impact we can have.
Fry emphasizes the importance of pairing conviction with strategy. Being persuasive, engaging in dialogue, and approaching situations with empathy often create more meaningful results than simply asserting moral authority. Effectiveness requires listening, patience, and the ability to connect with others, even when opinions differ.
