What do Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Malcolm Gladwell have in common? Are interesting theories more significant than true ones? And what has been keeping Angela up at night? Plus: an important announcement about the show.
Wait a minute.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Mike Mann.
And you're listening to no Stupid Questions.
Today on the show.
What makes an idea interesting?
Oh, hey, look over here.
What you thought was true is not tr.
Angela, I am so excited to be with you today.
But first things first.
Even before we hop into today's conversation, we have an important announcement to make.
That's right, Mike.
After five years and more than 200 episodes, next week will be the last episode of no Stupid Questions.
And I want to say I have loved doing this podcast.
First co hosting with Stephen, now Mike with you.
We love our listeners.
We love their questions, but like all good things, this one must eventually come to an end.
And I've loved doing it with you.
And I know we both are so grateful to all of our listeners for their questions to us over the years because they've been the catalyst for us to talk about a lot of interesting ideas on this show, whether it's a piece of research, a philosophical concept, a think piece from a newspaper or magazine.
So I thought, Angela, given that this is our second to last episode, that it might be appropriate to address sort of a meta question.
