ReThinking · What is greatness? with Chuck Klosterman · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

This is the Kevin Kelly argument that you should aim to have a thousand true fans when you're launching a product. matched

So interesting. matched

That I find very compelling. matched

So is the hypothesis then that matched

moves to broaden the appeal of any activity or experience in the short term expand because they they reach new audiences, but in the long term they lose the most passionate and that is ultimately responsible for their downfall. matched

Let's shift gears. matched

I want to go to a lightning round. matched

You ready for this? matched

First question is what is the difference between an arch enemy and a nemesis? matched

Wow. matched

So we want fewer arch enemies and more nemesis. matched

And those are potentially productive rivals. matched

Next question is you wrote the ethicist column. matched

What is the column that you never wrote and wish you had? matched

Yeah. matched

Yeah. matched
