Title: Is there a place on the Internet for general -- including political and economic -- discussion that is filled with civil, insightful commentary?<p>Outside of specialist corners (such as HN), the Internet often appears to be filled primarily with hateful repetition of populist punchlines, providing little to no insight into the big topics that concern the world at the moment. This is such a shame, as the Internet really should be the enabler of discussion across borders and societies (which of course can become heated but should always be respectful and rooted in trying to understand each other!).<p>From what I have read, The WELL seems to have been such a place (or still is?) in the &quot;old days&quot;, but where do you go today for such an exchange of ideas on a variety of topics?<p>(Note: It is allowed to cost money.)
