Favorite Intellectual Blogs

Do people have certain intellectual blogs they like?

If so, then this is the thread to share them in!

Here are some of my favorites:

http://lsolum.typepad.com/legaltheory/ (Legal theory blog, often provides links to some of the most interesting new legal papers on ssrn.com )
http://www.overcomingbias.com/ A blog by GMU economist Robin Hanson. It provides a very fresh perspective on reality, often through questioning appearances and invoking signaling models.
http://www.willwilkinson.net/flybottle/ This is the blog of CATO institute intellectual Will Wilkinson, and Will tends to be a relatively thoughtful man with comments on politics, economics, and philosophy.
http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/ A very good psychology blog.
http://commonsenseatheism.com/ Luke Muehlhauser is one of the most thoughtful atheists on the internet, and his blog is both an exploration of philosophy of religion, the atheist movement, and also contains a very insightful set of interviews with amazing minds.
http://www.inhabitatiodei.com/ A good blog for understanding liberal theology, and not entirely terrible given that, particularly given that it is critical to many failings of conservative Christian morality.
http://formerfundy.blogspot.com/ A GREAT blog for criticizing conservative theology, with very extensive criticisms of Penal Substitution Theory. The blogger also claims to have a PhD from Bob Jones University, which makes this more interesting in some way.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/ Who doesn't like the scientific american?
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/ A very interesting blog with a lot of random scientific details about different things, usually interesting though.
http://econlog.econlib.org/ An interesting group of economists and their thoughts on many different things.

Do you have your own recommendations?

This one's pretty strident (not my favorite, but it's a counterpoint):
http://www.intellectualconservative.com/

Counterpoints are good. I wish Dani Rodnik's economics blog posted more because the man is smart and skeptical in all the right ways to intrigue me.

Oh my goodness! Another reader of Overcoming Bias.
No wonder you were able to name the cognitive bias in the game I made up.

Yay! You like that blog too? Do you read Less Wrong much? (it isn't my favorite, but sometimes it is interesting)

Less Wrong happens to be my favorite blog. I'm also a huge fan of its originator. Back when he was producing a post per day at Overcoming Bias was one of the highest quality learning epochs in my life. And I was already very rational before I started reading it.
