Here are two good sites for thoughtful folk:

Aero and Quillette

I've learned quite a bit from Skeptic magazine online. They often present arguments for and against various topics including pornography and the existence of God.

You know, if you are going to post these pseud alt-right spooks sites as "sites from thoughtfull folks", you should at least be fair and measured and put in WSWS.org in there too. Just for balance, you know.

Reply to Akanthinos Gee whiz, I didn't think they were alt-right sites. Is it not possible to criticize academic fads, feminism, and such without being tarred by the alt-right brush?

Lingua Franca (died some time back) and Quillette are very similar magazines. They are not right wing, they are merely critical of extremes in academic BS.

Reply to Akanthinos I've looked at a lot of socialist web sites in my day -- http://wsws.org/ struck me as a good all around site.

A good 50 % of their pieces in the last month were nothing more than postmodernism bashing or feminism bashing.

And if you think wsws.org is anything else than a cesspool of conspirationist degenerates, than I cannot accept your judgement as valid. So I guess there it goes. :s

Well... you don't like the alt-right, you don't like academic criticism of BS, and you don't like Trotskyist socialist rags, what the hell do you like?

Like I said, I've looked at a lot of left wing socialist stuff over the years. I didn't say so above, but I don't find most of their publications or web sites very satisfying. This one did have a perfectly straightforward article about a new class of HIV antiviral compound, which appeared to have just been picked up off a science web site without any editorial comment. On the other hand, they didn't strike me as a cesspool of degenerate conspiracists (or conspiratorial degenerates either).

This is probably a Socialist Workers Party product -- or something similar.

Yeah, but I like bashing postmodernism. I like bashings of "feminist theory" or "critical theory" too. You may not like liver and onions, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. Same for drowning POMO kittens in ice water.

Hey, people, stop fighting!
How do you find Project Syndicate and Aeon?
I sometimes read the articles.

And pomo-bashing or third-wave feminism bashing is right wing? >:O

Well, let's see BC. Marx told you that material conditions determine the ideas. So granted that Akanthinos is dating a stripper who would smother her own child and thinks being pregnant is being 'disfigured', what do you reckon his opinions about POMO and third-wave feminism will be? >:)

There is a list on this website too.
