Curiosity, Interestedness & The Meaning of Life
Legendary multi–BAFTA Award winning producer John Lloyd CBE is the founder of QI and the producer of some of Britain’s best-loved TV shows. He is of the same opinion as Plato: unmitigated seriousness has no place in human affairs. On the other hand, he also likes A. N. Whitehead’s assertion that it’s more important for something to be interesting than true (although it’s more likely to be interesting if it is true).
When it comes to producing and presenting comedic content, John Lloyd is unmatched. He is best known for his work on Blackadder, QI, Spitting Image, and as a presenter for BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity. He has crafted a career that puts cheerfulness, kindness and creativity at the centre.
John is a really interesting person and a lovely man. I first came across him at The QI Club in Oxford in 2005, where I was invited to consider ‘are you quite interesting?’ A great question! His insightful and delicately provocative take on life, curiosity and self-knowledge is inspiring. Someone to learn from for leaders today.
