I can't think of any other magazines that are likely to host articles such as ' “The Universe Wants Us to Take Her Clothes Off” With Grimes ' sorry

  Sorry for being unclear. Other magazines which cover topics such as these: > Their article 'Complex systems won't survive the competence crisis' was an interesting read and made some good points, it appeared that they were approaching the issue from a perspective of troubleshooting and rectification, i.e. genuine governance.

    I think for intellectual commentary from the US perspective you can try The Atlantic & The New Yorker, there's another similar one but I forget the name. For slightly less commentary and more facts The Economist is good, that's from a UK perspective. If you're Australian, Quillette is the only one I know

I used to work in the space, so probably a mix of - Academic books (generally HUP, OUP, UCUP though the occasion PUP is alright) - White Papers from top tier think tanks (use the UPenn Rankings [0]) - Axios and Politico - their target readership is aimed directly at those working on the Hill or Hill adjacent Just sticking with these 3 types of resources should be enough. Also, IGNORE anything on Twitter, Reddit, or HN. The lesswrong/r\credibledefense types are all idiots ime.

  Axios and Politico Both of these, in my experience, are dreck-tier sources and Politico was bought vaguely recently by Axel Springer which emits Business Insider, which is also a reddit-tier publication.

    The only place I have ever seen the kind of sentiment you mentioned is on Reddit and then on LessWrong (not sure which came first). Don't tell me about the resources I read to do my daily job. Axel Springer hasn't touched the Politico operation (if it did, I would be the first to have heard). And Axios is heavily used in the dealmaking community. They hired most of the ex-Protocol, Reuters, Bloomberg, NYT, TechCrunch, and Politico reporters who's beat was the intersection of dealmaking and policy.
