@ek makes me feel very seen :) The only additional context I might add is this.

I'd like MH to be a home for a certain kind of thing. The top posts @ek linked are a good example, but a shortcut might be "thinking deeply about life and the world, and talking about it in good faith."

A number of other territories deal in some of the same topics, if you think in terms of topics, e.g., ~culture, ~tech, ~BooksAndArticles, maybe ~FiresidePhilosophy. In such cases, MH is a vibe.
