Overall, the target is open-minded average people who are interested in reading some evidence-based conclusions about the world.

Does that help or is it too vague?
Sometimes too vaugue is almost better, that means it is a very small niche and if you play your cards right you could be on top of those keywords at least per post. Per your whole blog it is going to be hard to be #1 since all of the competition and you changing your keywords per post.

Here's how I learned it

For example you have a jewelry website and your picking keywords for it.

keyword: Silver Jewelry thousands of pages on Google for this word, you could never dominate it, you are on page 100 perhaps. keyword: Sterling Silver Jewelry still hundreds of pages you are on like page 5. keyword: Sterling Silver Bracelets hundreds of Google pages but the niche is way smaller and with a little help you could get to #1 there, and who are you bringing in to your site? Your exact customer, someone looking for Sterling Silver Bracelets.
