Ideias inteligentes, debates importantes: it's all about this blog

Este blog, como dito em seu frontspício (que não é parente de hospício), se ocupa de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. (OK, de vez em quando aparecem aqui também algumas ideias pouco inteligentes, mas isso é para equilibrar e para contrabalançar.)
Pois bem, agora quero apresentar um site, um blog melhor dito, que também está nesse espírito. Não tenho a pretensão de fazer concorrência com ele, apenas de ser um "irmão menor".
