Tough question, at first glance I would say that I'm more into the "investigative stuff." Upon reflection however, I feel that "investigative stuff" will probably mean very different things to different people.
I like content that is based on 1st hand experiences. 1st hand content is basically what "investigative stuff" means to me. Like, the poster goes out and does something rad, i.e. grow log, tek, unique drug experience, unique life experience, etc...
I have an educational and work background in science though, BS in Biology, enrolled in a Pharmacology and Toxicology MS program and I work in a drug testing lab. So, if I'm reading something and I don't feel like the content is thought out very "scientifically" I generally don't take it very seriously.
So, basically, I like to read original content that I feel is written from an objective, which based on my educational background equates to: scientific, perspective. Reading people slinging citations back and forth is pretty boring, though I understand it has its' place.

I chose Investigative Thangs, because while science is an extremely useful set of tools, it's just that, a set of tools. I don't think it can explain everything.

Investigative Thangs is a lot broader than simply Scientific Thangs because it actually allows for analysis of subjective experience as well as objective events.
