Have you ever looked at a super old picture and laughed at how mistaken all
those people were about what they thought the we’d spend our time doing
today? I know I look at pictures of myself as a kid and can’t believe I
spent my time outside vs on a phone. Doesn’t sound like you? Well then
maybe you were positive that the world would always adore Milli Vanilli.
Regardless, it’s hard to argue that we’re incredibly blinded by the road
we’re on, what’s coming and what we— as a culture— will value beyond today.
Why is that? I had an interesting and hilarious conversation about that
very thing with this week’s guest, famed pop-culture author Chuck
Klosterman, who recently released the book “But What If We’re Wrong?” You
might know Chuck, he’s got a pretty huge cult-following which started when
he was a journalist for Spin, GQ, the New York Times Magazine, the
Washington Post, and Esquire. Or maybe you’ve read his diverse, hilarious
and insightful page-turning books ranging from Rock-n-Roll to Redskins,
from Cereal to Serial Killers many of which have topped the New York Times
Bestseller list.
