While I agree with Russt's last contention, and therefore disagree with Eos' condescending description of the new Current Events section in his OP, I like the split and think it helps identify the vast difference in topics posted in the Speakeasy. There's definitely discussion that occurs with both types of topics, but again, the distinction is clear, and thus a split, useful.
My only question is where to place topics centered around a thesis of "event inspired discussion." Ex. threads in which a groundbreaking event that redefines human thought (or something of the like) prompts the TC to ask not "what do you think of this discovery?" but "what do you think of this idea?"
