Less of politically motivated, dumbed down news, or justin bieber lady gaga, more of:
1) Wikipedia.org: The Free Encyclopedia
Or better yet: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (A Wikipedia run by academic experts. The encyclopedia is written and edited by academia from Stanford University and elsewhere; scholarly, more reliable and citable than Wikipedia :) Anyone can alter Wikipedia, but 120 leading philosophers & experts from around the world oversees contributions here. Text can only be published after being peer reviewed and approved several times. Read here for more differences. I secretly wish that you would check out Quantum Mechanics, eschew International Relations' Political Realism theory or at least think about Bioethics.

Selamat Datang!
Caveat for forum lowyat: I am critical about this one. Sure, it makes you more savvy, critical, business-minded but stay on your toes for the pervasive mediocre, lackluster herd mentality since its a user generated (very rarely users pop out from their typical domestic bubble of existence) forum for the masses after all. But, at least it gains some merits, in my eyes, to break free from your typical friend-friend only bubble of existence.

Just sharing some of my reads - which I think are valuable - so we don't live in denial or ignorance :)
Share with me some of your valuable reads too, enlighten me!

Btw, here's a special feature from newscientist.com,
From climate change to vaccines, evolution to flu, denialists are on the march. Why are so many people refusing to accept what the evidence is telling them?
In this special feature we look at the phenomenon in depth. What is denial? What attracts people to it? How does it start, and how does it spread? And finally, how should we respond to it?
