>I wonder if there is a place on the internet with the format of HN and a not so dissimilar quality of comments but focused on World events, philosophy, art, science ( excluding politics because it's too prone to flamewars).

Probably Reddit TBH, but also probably not the main subreddit for any particular topic, so it might take some digging. I hear good things about the quality of /r/askhistorians for instance. Also r/anime_titties/ (seriously.) Occasionally someone will post a thread here about high quality subreddits.

Thanks for reminding me of /r/askhistorians. I had not registered it in my mind as a source for general consumption. But what the heck is r/anime_titties/ about :) ? The feed is interesting , but I can't make up my mind on what the main topic of interest is.
